Well, maybe for now these activists are the fringe movement. And maybe that's why the government is scared, and placed more cops in downtown than activists. They are scared that these ideas might catch on, and if it does, there will be no containing it. These activists at the rally today might be radicals and extremists. But these are the soldiers. The ones willing to raise the issues, to get arrested for the cause, and to start the ball rolling in a way that the rest of us can get involved. Stay up~
