In case you're tempted to think that anti-war is always good and the state is always bad, here's an interesting case, involving anti-war protesters acting despicably and police acting calmly and reasonably. The anti-war protesters vandalized a 9/11 memorial for no discernible ideological reason, while police chose to let them.
However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday.
What? Not a single savage beating? What's wrong with this country?
