you're right, it is bullshit. unfortunately, we've done it to ourselves. we live in a country where "fans" burn cars after their team loses. where an angry mob burns down their own neighborhood and kill innocent drivers when a revolting court decision is handed down. where people who don't give a shit about politics tear down posters, put holes in walls, and throw drinks when a washed up musician dedicates a song to someone they don't like.
the same people who do these deeds are always looking for an excuse to cause a problem. the majority of people want to protest to get a point across, but in their midst are always those that are looking to start a conflict.

in arizona before the war there were protesters in tucson on a street corner during rush hour. no problem right up until "someone" threw a rock through a moving vehicles windshield, causing a minor accident.
i think it was san francisco where protesters laid down in the streets to block traffic. sooner or later, someone who drank a little too much coffee at the office will follow through on my gut reaction, which is to just run the dumbasses over...

anyway, by not holding those around us accountable for their foolish actions, we have gotten to a point where the police must limit protests to a restricted area. i don't like it, but i understand it.
