Never said they were harmless. They're intended to hurt--just like any form of public protest.
What's the point of, say, a picket line in front of a restaurant? To embarrass the ownership/management and keep away customers--to exert pressure on the powers-that-be. Hurt them enough, and they'll listen. Maybe.
