Subject: RE: BS: Observations of Republican Convention
"Except for the small group of whackos who were violating the law, the protestors at the RNC were protesting ..."


1. it was the small group (234?) that was arrested, not the 5000 protesters.

2. I was complaing that it seems those wackos have support here, from the comments.

3. I have never stated that peaceful protest should be limited, not have I advocated the silencing of those with other viewpoint than myself- as many here HAVE done.

4. You seem to ignore the fenced in "free speech areas" at the DNC- except to note that the protesters there ( ie, those NOT supporting the DNC) were law-abiding and non-violent.
