Leave the protestors alone, and if you want to argue that you're not all the same then start arresting the power-tripping hyssie-fiiting little fucks like Mayberry.\r\n\r\nUntil you do that you're just enemies of law, enemies of order and enemies of democracy.\r\n\r\nYou're supposed to protect us from criminals like Bush, the Enron-execs, Admiral Poindexter and Ollie North.

You break the law, you pay.  You can let your voices be heard the legal way.  If you guys were trying to blockade my building, I'd have all of you fucking losers arrested too.
