		Protest groups argue, correctly, that being restricted to locales away from the Olympic crowds means preaching to the choir.

		A protest has to somehow disrupt the life of its observers, or else no one would notice the protest, and, by extension, never notice the problem, which would then never get solved.
		The validity or relevance of a group’s goals are indeed valid and relevant to the people who care enough to protest, and that alone is enough of a reason to at least engage in a thoughtful discussion.
