What happens a group of idiots want to protest the Canadian embassy because of tution, and the Secret Service is assigned to protect the Ambassador. That's exactly why we need the law. We have Freedom of Speech, but we don't have the right to break windows and throw bottles and rocks at people.



I didn't vote in this election. In fact, the last time I voted I voted for Bush.

Yes, I want the President of the United States to be protected from the public. The general public includes a lot of unstable people. The average citizen shouldn't have a fucking driver's license. The average citizen cannot just call the White House and make an appointment; It just doesn't work that way.
So they get to be protected from the people who have something to say and aren't held accountable for anything they do to anyone. If you didn't vote, you certainly aren't holding them accountable.

Doesn't sound like the best of plans to me. In fact it seems like something that might breed a god complex. No wonder politicians feel untouchable.
