My problem is with the hand full of people who deliberately stuck around AFTER the curfew. It just seemed like deliberate taunting to me. As for protesting in the streets and at all the new conferences they've beeen holding, I'm all for it.
I guess you all think I'm wrong, but I think that just supports the nay sayers who claim all the protesters are criminals that dont believe in any laws.
