OND, if the reason you attend demonstrations is for violence, an adrenalin rush and a bit of a shout you are a fool.
And this is an anti war demo. Not a everything's wrong with the world demo. (A rouge state is like a rogue state but with sofas)
The reason that demos are viewed with suspicion by authorities and not taken seriously by the public is because they anticipate that the crowd are ill informed and just out to air their frustrations which may not have anything to do with the aim of the demo and up for a scrap. Ignorance will breed contempt. The best way to get your point across is through reasoned argument and being in control of all the information you have collected and absorbed. If then you feel the best way to get you point across is to run at a policeman in riot gear I'd rather you stayed at home. If you are not being violently oppressed don't start trouble. And if I catch a sight of you chucking a bin through a shop window I'll give your knackers a reasoned argument with my boot!
