What points do protesters score by trying to disrupt G8 Meetings?

There are simple minded people who have nothing better to do than go protest something. These people are attention whoremongers who want to feel important even when they are not. At least when they protest, they have a life in their imaginations. In other words, most protestors are mentally deranged to a certain degree.

i don't think they take results into consideration. the point is: if you really feel something, you'll act acording to what you feel, not judging on how useful your action is. protesters, at least the ones who don't do it for fashion, feel they have to protest against what they believe is wrong. i think anyone would, only that we all have different causes that move us. yours might be racial injustice, they protest against globalization

globalization has exasperated consuming, it has exasperatet waste, it has flattened cultural differences, it has impoverished the worlds resources... the list is long don't misunderstand me, i'd never partecipate in those protests, and i don't like the ones that do. but i do understand the reasons that move them.
