Atl Slient Protest: A Case Study

Decent Essays
I would like to strongly suggest that we not place the MCV in the customary location or a Hot Zone for the Atl Slient Protest. Over the last few years during major events the MCV is always parked in the same location like Lenox Station. In my opinion, by continuing to deploy the MCV in the same location for major events we are putting the MCV and MCV personnel at risk of a terrorist or attack by protesters. The last protest at the Lenox Station had hundreds of protesters show up. We know that terrorists look for patterns or commonality in our security. We also know that protesters try to find ways to get news attention, the surrounding and damage or burn down of the MARTA Police MCV in the Lenox bus loop would gain national and international

    That kind of action is what they wanted to happen even when its just a couple people. If the rally happened and no protestors showed up, there wouldn’t have been the same media coverage that there was with the protestors. The protestors arguments are effective because they wanted to prevent this hate group from having a rally, and avoid any violence from happening. They also are in the media addressing that there is still a racism problem in America, even after the extensive history in America with prejudice against other races. The reporter for VICE, Elle Reeve, does a fantastic job of keep her composure when discussing the opinions that people had in the interviews.…
