38. Getting mad at the protesters is sort of like getting mad at the rioters
after the officers who beat up rodney king got off.

If they can't find justice in the government, they throw out the government.

Apparently they perceived this as an in justice. The typical response happened.

The city law makers should have handled this better. A neo-nazi group should not be marching through an inter-racial neighborhood because it insites the feeling that allowing racial hate is okay.

btw, It is not wrong to throw out our government after justice fails. The declaration of independence calls us to do that.

These people didn't seek justice through the system first, and they should have.

But I applaud them for acting quickly when they percieved injustice. The rest of America didn't as the supreme court chose our president and the patriot act passed congress.
