4) In a free society, citizens can expect many rights. But there's no "right" to obstruct traffic indefinitely. There's no right to "self-defense" against police enforcing traffic laws. Shooting cops as they enforce traffic laws is strongly frowned upon in any working democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

3) It's not "fascist" for an elected government to invoke duly enacted emergency laws, reviewable by courts, to deal with disturbances. What is a lot more fascist-y, on the other hand, are extremist groups who blockade commerce in hopes of coercing the state to yield to demands — PolitiTweet.org

5) Protest is a precious right. Democracy is built on the principle of majority rule, but majorities aren't always right. Sometimes a passionate 20% has something to say that the indifferent 80% needs to hear. Protest enables the 20% to force attention and prove their commitment. — PolitiTweet.org
