Answer 1

In answer to your question, absolutely.  If you read the YA News several days ago, you would have seen that the homes of some of the organizers of these protests were raided before the convention began and they were arrested at that time.  They never even made it to the convention.  

Answer 2

What's wrong with arresting people who commit crimes?

Will liberals ever learn that the right to protest does not include interfering with other people and businesses?  You can voice your opinions and wave signs, but causing damage, harassing people, and blocking traffic are not part of legitimate protesting and are often crimes.

Answer 3

Reporters were arrested at the Dem convention too. Hmmmm...what don't the Dems want you to see. Ok,anarchist.

Answer 4

That all depends on what they are doing or saying, free speech does not mean rain on somebody's bad luck or misfortune. Just like the poparazzi always in somebody's face-every thing is not for  the poublic

and everything is not news worthy.

Answer 5

Hey how come no links to the people that were arrested at the DNC? For trying to investigate the lobbyist that were present?
