I really don't think that screaming in someone's face is going to persuade them to see your side of the issue. This picture does a pretty good job of summing up how I feel about protests and protesters. Expression is fine, but too often the individuals involved cross the line from civil expression to violence (yelling in someone's face is quite violent, IMO) and destruction. Do they realize that behaving that way is detrimental to their cause?
What a dumbshit.

If he can point out Tibet on a map without a Google search, I'll be amazed. The old saying "Empty can rattles the loudest." almost always holds true.
