I had not considered that. Thanks for the post.

This time is a historical first, in that this is literally people who are protesting their own Party in large part.

I find the Maoist involvement interesting. I've got to read more about them.

What I'm talking about I've been watching live on TV. A reporter keeps trying to ask them simple questions and instead of using the opportunity, the first time they shouted the "F" word, put up their middle fingers and practically mowed him down. The second time a couple of thugs surrounded him and I think the camera is probably the only thing that saved him from worse.

What good is protest if they won't even talk about what they are protesting to the press? None!

The first incident was a combination of self identified Anarchists and Maoists.

A reporter asking what they are protesting about in a friendly tone should be treated badly? Odd?

Interesting how people who claim to want peace truly revel in violence.
