that have stepped over the line on a consistant basis. They ruin the event and the meaning because the papers and the TV stations cover their violent acts instead of the meaning of the protest. Maybe it's just because I'm in marketing, but when those who are on the fence see on television even one person stepping out of line and throwing something heavy through a window at a federal building, we have lost our case. I was one of those people who felt sickened by the violent ignorance that was covered in the papers. I will come armed with a sign and ready to walk away at a moments notice if things go awry. Protests need to be squeeky clean. Even one small blurb of violence on a front page covered with possitive coverage can destroy the whole point.
