It doesn't make any sense, but you see it all the time.

There were a bunch of bicyclists protesting driver's not sharing the road a few years back where I live. They did so by blocking intersections and making a general pest of themselves.

Putting aside the fact that most people hate bicyclists because they're rude and don't follow any of the rules of the road themselves, all this did is pissed off everyone they encountered and didn't earn them any sympathy at all.

The strategy of making my problem with you a third party's problem by taking it out on them and hoping they will blame you instead of me has always been fucking retarded.
