Look if someone went to a Palestinian support convention and yelled out how Israel should simply invade the whole place... bad things will occur.
If someone went to a welfare rally and yelled out that they all need to stop being lazy and get a job... bad things would occur.
The police were avoiding confrontation that would occur because two immature kids dont know how to present their views in a reasonable manner.

So. . . .what are you saying here? Bush can't control himself, and if he saw these kids wearing the shirt he'd leap over the dais and bitch slap 'em? This was in a public place. The kids were expressing their opinion (first amendment right) and were not breaking any laws, yet were arrested.
If I wear an anti-bush shirt while walking down the streat, a bush supporter MIGHT get upset and hit me. Should I be taken away and jailed because that MIGHT happen?
This is America, not a Soviet gulag.
