#1 The sad fact for the well-mannered and well-meaning protesters is that their public protests tend to draw anarchists, commies, and other social misfits like flies. The only recourse is private protesting like letter-writing, etc. that doesn't give them a sense of community. It's a shame.

On the other hand, pelting police with anything deserves a jail term. Tolerating it is a big mistake.

#2 As domestic terrorist organizer Mike Roselle stated the other day (rantburg post), the purpose of these riots (at least in US) are to constantly chip away at local, state and federal money meant for Homeland Security and the war effort.

His delusion is that enough people will rise up to riot, thus the National Guard would be required, thus hampering the war effort.

Read about Code Pink under 5th Column today...it gives you an idea of just how organized and subversive the Marxist movement really is.

#3 It cracks me up when "peace" protestors turn violent. It's the ultimate behavioral oxymoron.

"our guiding principle is peace. If you don't agree with me I will slug you."

Just further proof of the intellectual bankruptcy of this movement. It makes no sense. It defies logic.

#4 So let's see. The peace protestors can stage a violent riot and the war supporters can stage a peaceful gathering? Got it... well, not really.
