There in lies the problem they were not in a place allowed the street was blocked off earlier in the day so they could protest. Those damn cops had the nerve to re-open the street to the rest of us tax payers so we could use it also.

Can't argue with that but it applies to everyone and if you infringe on others rights to exercise your own you are no better than a communist.

Spagnolo gave several orders to protesters to stand down and then stopped when it got out of hand.
My advice is to invest more in education and less in tin foil. With out the second amendment your first would not mean a damn thing. Elected officails are just that you may not like them but they got elected and your out numbered by the voteing pool get over it. Maybe try to contact them write letters set up meetings I have done it.

No problem PM me your address, Tomarrow at 3am I am going to make a speech in front of your house with a bullhorn. I sure hope you don't mind me exercising my free speech.

Both of you would do your selves a big favor to read "Patriots" by A.J. Langguth it would give you much needed education about the intent and founding of this great country.

Both of your hearts are in the right place you just need a little education.
