Yes, the peaceful protesters were seen spiriting away products, making them successful in their goods liberation attempt, thanks to the performance art allowing them access to their favorite retailers.

This reminds me of a tweet someone sent me of either a looter or looter advocate who said, 'If stores didn't want their **** stolen they should have put in thicker glass.'

A mind of the future!
