People should take heed of the lesson the mainstream media learned about small scale protests a long time ago: If you don't pay attention to them, it is as if they never happened.
That is to say, if someone is going out of their way to get attention by means of creating controversy, you are only doing them a favor by getting offended. Especially in instances where the protesters don't pose any kind of threat to anything and aren't doing anything particularly interesting.
