I think that the police were justified in their actions, but I also believe that the protesters were justified in protesting. That is what America is about freedom of speech, wich includes the right to vote the way you want and express your opinions as you choose.

Yes, freedom of Speech...but please do something that is productive......standing there in the street, shouting slogans under the scorching sun....don't make any sense.....i think that is stupid....

when people, they don't consider the situation as a whole....the economy will get affected...

by blocking the damn streets, there are just being inconsiderate to others who may need to just make use of the path to get to their office or do some grocery......

please....grow up.... dun waste time. Protest is not say good or bad....but when the police say it is enough, it means enough....

i support the police actions.

If Americans are going to protest they should face the damage. I do not believe that everyone that protest truly believe's in what theyare protesting. Most just use it as an excuse to follow the norm. Why weren't these people protesting in Samolia or Yugoslovia? Because it was not a huge war and they could not get the attention. I do not mean to sound mean but I am sick of wasting my tax dollars on "followers" What they do not understand is the very people going to war are the ones that gave them the right to protest in the first place but yet they wont support them. Someone help me understand why I feel this way. :rolleyes:
