It's not acceptable to me on it's face, but the fact is that some people will be arrested and that's acceptable to me.
While I don't think that the protestors that were involved in the Bike Ride through Manhattan on Friday were ALL bad, as one friend who was swarmed by bikers was harassed and annoyed by it.
My boss' upstairs neighbors were arrested and detained for 36 hours.
There are two sides to it, but at least in this country one just has to wait until it's time to vote again and thus some things change bad to good and some good to bad, depending on how you saw it.
You won't find me at protests because large crowds can be stupid all together as one, and then the police single out a few and that's that, which is what happened to my boss' neighbors. Did they do anything wrong, no. But they pay a price for the few that did, as I've read and seen annoyed NY'rs via blogs and regular media.
