Not sure how I feel about this one. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this behaviour is just childish. What is she trying to do here? Scare him away, intimidate him.

Get media coverage, like pretty much everything she does. She doesn't have much power as an independent senator so basically all she can do is try to exist as a cultural figurehead.

Sometimes following a principal appears useless. Sometimes symbolism can lead to powerful change.

Ghandi's march to the sea to 'make salt', which was an illegal act under British rule, indirectly led to Indian independence. Long bow, I grant you, but the golden thread is there.

  1. She was protesting the involvement of police participating in the parade.
