The protesters were moved across the street, not to Siberia. If you've been to the square you know this is no big move.

I agree with everything you have said. My question was where do you draw the line on honest political dissent? I said I was there, I witnessed the move. I do not believe there was any reason to suspect unruly conduct. After the assault on the congresswoman in Arizona, security has to be tight.
