Do you know how easily that could silence any decent? gee... these democratic protesters at the repubican convention are really asking for it... beter have them pay $50M for security so we can make sure nothing bad happens.

Sounds to me like you don't want them to have the right to speak or march ANYWHERE without paying the entry fee.

Now there is a brilliant plan. What exactly do you think would have happend then? You want a full scale riot with numoruous deaths on both sides? Seems to me its the JOB of the police to maintain civil order and protect our rights when people try to trample on them. Wither thats someone stealing or someone harrasing you, or someone trying to stop you from excersizing your right to free speach.
