Protestors are often dragged away from cops even when they don't deserve it. Did you stand up for Occupy Wallstreet? Or is your defense of our right to speech and protest subjective?

This happens a lot. People are arrested for non-violent protest often. Some of you critique in a very limited manner based on what is being protested. Others are general in the defense of speech and protest.

I didn't say any of those things. If you're going to play both sides of a conversation yourself, why bother going through the internet to do it? Just sit in your room and talk to yourself instead, it's easier.

Your post #10:

People were dragged away who did absolutely none of those things. I guess in your world people are guilty of crimes committed by others.

Which was in response to my post #9:

The OWS protestors closed down roads, left garbage everywhere, defacated and urinated in public places, and tried to block access to Wall Street, among other places.


Thanks for playing.

Think you should look up the definition of "peaceful" and "assault". Doing something peaceful is not attacking anyone. Assaulting someone or something is attacking them/it. Sitting in front of a door and not moving is not an assault as there is no attack being made. Disruptive yeah, assault..no.
