It's kinda s***ty that the commentator called the guy in the first video a coward. I think he was a hero. Now those idiot high schoolers probably won't be doing such foolish and pointless protests.
People need to learn that their voice will not be heard. Does anyone think for a second that our government is going to say, "hey, these random high school kids reckon we shouldn't participate in a war, we should listen to them." The only thing it does is cause a major inconvenience and annoyance to everybody else. Maybe they should move to a middle eastern country where they'll actually have a reason to protest something.

And you must be a sick and cold hearted person.
So it is okay to try to KILL someone just because you are a bit late to your job?? How can you even defend something like that?? Yes, the kids are idiots, but do they deserve to be killed just for delaying traffic??
Some of you people never cease to amaze me, no wonder why the world is like it is.
And maybe we should ban any kind of peaceful demonstrations while we are at it??edit on 7-6-2011 by juleol because: (no reason given)

Right, a lady I use to play poker with had a grandmother that was part of the French Resistence during WWII and was killed for standing up for what she believed in.
No more war...............sounds pretty good to me.
I've been on the front line of a Vietnam War Protest facing cops with billy clubs and shields.........a guy four people down from me got clubbed in the head, but hey maybe that little naked kid running down a dirt road on fire from napalm in a faraway country doesn't matter to the likes of you.
You actually justify someone running another human being over with a car.

It looks to me, that many posters (on this thread especially) actually want to live in a police state. They want to be controlled, they want to be subservient. They must do, there is no other explanation to it.
