Fortunately we live in a country that allows us to freely express our opinions, regardless of their legitimacy or merit. Though, the right to protest does not always make the protest right.

I believe peaceful protests should be allowed. But, when you start interfering with the rights of others, that's where we should draw the line. I'll give you 2 examples. I live in S FL. We have a lot of Cuban immigrants who still call themselves refugees after 40 years. There were people waiting to see a concert which included some Cuban musicians, & they started throwing rocks at the people waiting in line. The other was when the boy, Elian was here. His father, in Cuba, wanted him back, the people here wanted him to stay, so they blocked the streets so that people who had nothing to do with this were inconvenienced. This did not endear them to the public. It had the opposite effect. Pick your battles & your methods.

that is stupid that they do this,and that legally they are in a position to escape with it. it is not honest to the feminine who's making the alternative for abortion (say her infant has shown up on a point 2 or 3 ultrasound and an amniocenteses) because of the fact the infant has spina bifida and not something could be performed approximately it? How is it honest to that lady who's had to make the toughest determination of her existence and chosen to get an abortion (say the infant does not stay or something) and is already having a perplexing time over it and in mourning for the infant that could have been. that is only no longer suited that folk make females put in circumstances like that experience undesirable for making a existence changing determination. I agree human beings could desire to think of two times earlier abortion,yet base line is that that is criminal and that's a woman's determination. permit that is that. the feminine's determination. who're you or anyone else to choose those females? that is between those females and God. enable them to handle that when the time comes. it is not our place to choose human beings.

Gay activists are always an unpleasant sight. Yet without protesting how would women have gotten the right to vote, or union workers higher wages, who would of gotten Nixon booted out of office? Protesting has its disadvantages and consequences, for example the disrespect shown to Vietnam vets, yet it is a protected right of the American people. Which leads into the next question, why do illegal immigrants protest? they are not Americans, they have no right.

I agree with Sunshine. It's our right, but it doesn't mean they are on the right side. When they start infringing on other people's rights then they need to put down their signs, go home, and wait until the next election. To vote is the best method to protest and stay out of people's way, especially at concerts!

They show up in the middle of the work day, protest about issues they don't understand, and cause traffic for those of us who actually work.
I would say, if there is ever a hostage situation in the Middle East, we should trade 100 protestors for one soldier.

I think the military ought to move in to one crowd of these idiots, esp those protesting the war, and mow every one of them down with automatic gunfire, I guarantee you there will never be another protest in this country after that. Oh and before one of you smartazzes say it....the Kent State shooting back in the 60's doesn't count.

I believe that they were just acting on their first amendment right of Freedom of Assembly and I say good for them!

I believe in people's right to protest.
I do not believe protestors are always right, though.
