Send a message to who? the other protesters in the past?
No, to the increasing number of people who are recognizing a problem within the system and might get it in their heads to voice their complaints. It's about intimidating people into silence so the tyrants can continue their rule unopposed.
Guns are louder than voices. Maybe the problem is they just can't hear us yet.
