What if it was Canadians protesting about new taxes or something?

Or is it that protests aren't supposed to affect anyone? Is that not the whole idea?

If the protesting didn't affect you, you might still have no idea about the struggle their people are facing. They were really successful, and stopped when they got what they wanted. One of the best protests this city has seen I'd say.

And if you're more angry about the "way they did it" and that's more important to you than thousands of people being murdered, then uhhmmmm...
Where did I say they could not protest??

Where did I say its because they are Brown or Foreign?

I know excately whats going on over there. I agree its terrible but protesting on a highway with children is just plain stupid and WRONG.

They can protest anywhere they like, but when you block major roadways and highways it puts public safety at risk.
