Thread Name: BS: Pre-emptive Strike on 1st Amendment
Subject: RE: BS: Pre-emptive Strike on 1st Ammendment
Peaceful and legal protestors, have been known to break store windows and start fires - threatened to shut the city down in the pre-protest rhetoric, stated that the tens of thousands of protestors they were bringing would stop traffic and wreack havoc on the city. These sweet and loving, caring folks had no reason to expect the DC police to be concerned.

It is true that only a few hundred protestors actually showed up, but they did throws bottles at police, they did break windows and they did sit and lay don in the street, tied/taped together in order to stop traffic ... and why should they expect to be arrested??

Don't be foolish Bobert - they tried their best to bring out the ire of the DC police and it failed. Your comments here only underscore the lunacy of their arguements.
