My opinion on it is it's a good intent. The cop's comment that spawned this all was a very disrespectful comment (though it may have some truth to it but that doesn't matter).
It's just a bad way to protest. When you protest in weird ways like that, people may be for your cause but they don't want to associate with you because of the way you're protesting. People who would otherwise be captivated by your movement are turned off by it and may choose not to participate because of that (or not listen to/take seriously).
Not to mention some of the people at these walks are wearing not that much clothing. And I'm totally against people doing that in public. Kid's should not have to witness that and they might end up because you're walking out on the street after all.
But it's a very good cause.
Speaking of which, you should sign this petition on Change.org: Tell Silsbee High School to Apologize for Treatment of Rape Victim - girl was on cheerleading team and she would cheer for the whole team but she refused to cheer for her rapist by name when he scored a goal.
"School officials also pushed H.S. 'to keep a low profile, such as avoiding the school cafeteria and not taking part in homecoming activities.'"
She didn't do what she was told and got kicked off the team.
