How will marching, chanting and sign-waving "bring them down"? The financial markets might. The flying public might. Their competitors might (Fly Southwest: we may lose your luggage, but we won't beat you up). But if righteous outrage had any practical utility I can think of any number of companies that would have been protested out of existence by now.
