A question.

I have a question, no sarcasm and all joking aside. If a person is under the age of majority and it is ok for them to protest are they then exempt from ridicule for things they say because of they are minors? (Oh and the phrase that the person complaining she is in memes uses isn't "minor". She whines that she is "underage" and they will all get in trouble for making memes of her.)

Ok, that probably didn't make a lot of sense. Her is the scenario. There was a protest about climate change, to try and force the government to act, where I live today, a bridge was shut down at rush hour to all traffic ... vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle. (The police actually shut the bridge to everyone before the protesters could but that is ancillary to my question.)

There is a video circulating Facebook showing a cyclist trying to bike to work being confronted by protesters. Two protesters stand out because one is so fucking whiney and stupid and the other one was just as moronic. I use stupid and moronic because what they were saying to a cyclist was that dumb. They told her things like you should have saved money to take the bus ... you should have driven to work or taken the bus. The second protester actually told her she was old so the future didn't matter to her (I paraphrase that). You are protesting against climate change and want people to do things that will not affect the environment ... yet you berate a cyclist with that nonsense. Yeah, in my book stupid and moronic apply.

Of course the Internet being the Internet memes have started circulating mocking the protesters, especially the 1st one who started whining, yelling, and berating the cyclist. Now she is responding online, saying she is underage and is reporting everyone who circulates a meme about her to the police. Hence my question.

If you are old enough to go protest and put your stupidity out there for the world to see shouldn you be considered old enough to be berated for being a moron? (For some reason I feel that I need to qualify this ... wanting to improve/save the climate is not stupid in my book ... what these asshats said is.)
