Cannibalizing 'b's' concept of 'silent protests'

"...So we have "small gatherings of possible(!) protesters", "small groups of people", "hundreds of people", "tens of thousands" all on the sidewalks of a 10.7 miles long busy big street, "congregating" and of course, not chanting.

Could it be that there were no protests at all? That while some exile Iranians called for "silent protests" the local western media stingers only reported seeing people in a busy street. Could the Wall Street Journal reporting from Tehran Beirut be a bit off in its interpretation? Maybe ..."

'The original version: silent protests in Hamburg!' (not to be mistaken for the 'going-about-one's-business concept)
