Really protesters? The Calgary Police should be dealing with war criminals?

I agree, I'm all for demonstrations but a lot of the time they come off like complete uneducated morons. No one's going to listen to you if you don't raise a strong point in a somewhat reasonable way.
Funny, I used to have a lot more sympathy for "protesters" until I moved to Vancouver and witnessed the stupidity of many of them first hand.
Its too bad, because demonstrations have a pretty important history in the development of our society and other democracies. I think they need to become better at managing their PR, and maybe they'll be taken more seriously.
