>> They are saying do things our way or we burn your house down.

No, they are protesting events that are generally perceived as a gross injustice of the judicial system.

>> They don't believe in democracy and so what's left?

Says who? To me, they seem to be the very embodiment of civil disobedience (and thusly of democracy).

>> The same skills they used to do this can shut down power plants, bring down air planes, and wreck general mayhem.

I don't understand how is that related to anything. Yes, a variety of things can be used for good AND BAD purposes.

>> They are saying the people in power are corrupt. Some how we have to trust they will never become corrupt.

In other words, let's not remove the corrupt people because the people who would replace them COULD be corrupt as well.

>> Before I posted my original comment. I had a moment of fear.

The thing about fear is that it's not necessarily rational.



The very embodiment of civil disobedience? I think not. They are anonymous thugs and vandals and nothing more.


Some examples of said thuggery would not hurt.
