The first 10 or so minutes of McCain's acceptance speech last night was wasted waiting trying to weed these guys out. It was disruptive and obnoxious, and I was wishing I was standing next to that guy on the balcony who dropped that stupid ass banner "you can't win an occupation"....(oops, did I bump you that hard?).

Your protesters aren't protesting anything in particular, they're trying to shut people up who don't agree with them - that is their only goal. That's why it's juvenile disruption, NOT protestion (or protestation or something).

Medusa, streets are already shut down to accommodate protesters. At some point you have to "herd" this assembly so the rest of the responsible world can carry on.
