Miami FTAA Protest news blackout

[Perndog]

Yes, dissent and protest are rights and anyone can legally participate in them. I guess my self-preservation instinct is too high for me to match you people's noble patriotism. I tend to believe that I'll be able to live a decent life no matter what happens with government policy, and if I can't there's nothing stopping me from moving overseas.

To clarify my original statement, I just think that if you need to protest, you don't need to do it in a place that will invite police brutality. I'm sure there are plenty of other places where a large enough crowd of people can make themselves heard, whether or not they're on the premises of the event that offends them.
