What I am specifically referring to is protesters shouting down speakers or
|
|
making so much noise that it interferes with the speaker. That's wrong,
|
|
immoral and unethical no matter what the political bent of the speakers and
|
|
the protesters. Rowdy protests in their own venue (on a college campus or
|
|
some of the commons areas of DC) is perfectly fine by me. Waving signs to
|
|
get attention is fine.

Well, Owen implied the protesters were arrested. Was he just jacking himself
|
|
off at the expense of other people? Exactly why is it a shame that they were
|
|
not arrested? Think about what you are saying and what you are telegraphing
|
|
about your state of mind here. You WANT people to do bad things (ie, police
|
|
arresting peaceful protesters) if it can help you further your cause? That
|
|
attitude just sucks. You have no moral ground to stand on if that is what
|
|
you believe.

Sure, just don't whine about getting arrested if you make it a point to get
|
|
in someone's face.
|
|
|
|
One other comment... Most of the people that are protesting against taking
|
|
out the Iraqi dictator wouldn't give a rats ass if a nuke went off in NYC.
|
|
They simply wouldn't care so why in the hell should the Americal public
|
|
listen to them on matters of national security?
|
|
|
|
So enlighten me, exactly why shouldn't Hussein be taken out? And if your
|
|
answr boils down to "i don't give a shit about what happens to the US", you
|
|
can kiss my ass :-)
