: : This just in: at the WTO Summit in Seattle, protesters chained themselves together and lay down in the road to disrupt the meetings. Illegal? Yes. Violent? No. So how did the police respond? They bombarded them with red pepper tear gas. Now maybe things will turn even more violent. Lesson: expect to be assaulted when you stand between big business and their profits.

: Or when you break the law and refuse to submit to arrest. That one will also get you assualted.

Freedom to tie up city streets and delay innocent people? Freedom to destroy private property? Freedom to shove YOUR point of view down everybody's throats?
