still... the problem is the same. shutting down a festival on ground of it bringing out the "bad" in some people is the same principal. The authorities are not shutting these guys down because they a couple of people are complaining. they are shutting them down because they are gaining more media exposure, because they could potentially be a problem.

It is important to let these "mostly non violent" protest continue. Not because i believe in the WTF they are asking but because giving the right to the gov to shut them down on ridiculous claims will give the gov the right to shut down any future protest... whether it would be warranted or not.
