I don't think anyone can argue that there aren't rules or laws being broken during these occupations and protests. I don't believe one of us can go through the day without a breaking a law there are so damn many for every damn thing.
But, it's incredibly hypocritical that we use force, sometimes excessive, on these protesters when we at the same time condemn the police and military forces in the middle eastern countries for the same. Our government cheers their protests and occupations, but then uses the same tactics other governments have used to discourage protests here at home.
Of course, it's not to the point of lives lost...yet. I certainly hope it doesn't escalate to that point!
So, I'm not here to call you a sheep, or tell you that you are wrong. Just to say we, as a nation, are complete hypocrites.
