I think that is it. But it also the lack of connection between the protest and the venue.
If they were protesting destruction of rock outcroppings, it would probably not have annoyed me. But they CHOSE it to protest another completely unrelated topic BECAUSE it is a symbol. I wouldnt mind if they did it on a building. or a bridge, or the side of an Exxon oil tank. But this one was (surprisingly) on my list of "too far". The Statue of Liberty, cemeteries, the Vietnam Memorial I already knew where on my list of "off limits". Throwing red paint on people is way over the line. Protesting at funerals of servicemen and women - too far. Verbally attacking children of women who have had abortions - too far. And this goes on my list. I get that not everyone will agree, but most of the people I have talked to about it tonight think it is not right, and hurt not helped their cause.
