Opinion: Occupy Saltworks' Juvenile Behavior Didn't Inform Anyone

Dear Editor,

When I was driving home Monday from Pacific Shores, I was stopped by a handful of protesters who walked back and forth across a crosswalk seemingly only intent on preventing me and other drivers from proceeding. They mocked those of us who just wanted to get home as they laughed and slowly stepped in front of each vehicle.

One guy was dressed in what appeared to be a Star Wars storm trooper mask. He enjoyed faking the start of a walk across the crosswalk to get each driver to hit the brakes.

It wasn’t until the next day I learned this was aimed at the Saltworks project. Whether I’m for or against the project is irrelevant in that moment. Such juvenile behavior certainly didn’t inform anyone – it was four or five people just being stupid.
