I said there was a protest breaking curfew and starting fires in the street and the police walked away and let it happen.

Draw your own conclusions on whether this was a peaceful protest or if the police showed more restraint with this group or if we need the troops sent in to settle things down yet.

FTR I have maintained that the protests are NOT a bad idea but that the violence and vandalism is.  Also the police seems to go after the protesters much more than the vandalizers. And also that the actual peaceful protesters are being lumped in with the bad guys in an attempt to dismiss what the protests are about..by some.

My bad. When you said Oh, wait ... this is a religious group setting fires in the street and flaunting the curfews. So ... I thought you were sarcastically saying it was ok but really meaning you didn't like it.

I apologize for reading too much into your comment.
