What happened to our rights as Americans to free speech and PEACEABLE assembly? Now I agree that the so called anarchist who are wantonly destroying property should be punished to the fullest extent under the law but those exercising the RIGHT of peaceable assembly guaranteed by the US constitution should be held up as martyrs. I believe it was TJ who said "The tree of liberty must be regularly watered by the blood of patriots". There are many things I do not find worthwhile but my freedom and liberty are worth giving my life for.
My opinion of the way law enforcement is handling the RNC is characterized by the title I have put on this rant. The law enforcement community has been in my opinion out of control for the last few years. If a riot is aimed at one thing then the response is appropriate, if aimed at another the response is overwhelming force. Non-violent protests and protesters are beaten down by the forces of law that we pay for with our taxes, while violent rock throwing nihlists are ignored. (notice the guy busting a window in the link) Kristallnacht is where a path we are treading with our government could end up unless we as a people stand up to oppression! Sacrifice for our freedom may be called for. As Peter Paul and Mary said in song "Have you been to jail for freedom"? If you are unwilling to put it on the line for your beliefs then why believe in anything?
