C'mon, Tx...these kids couldn't do this without their parent's approval and encouragement.
There are, in addition to the sincere protestors down there, undoubtedly some lunatics. These kids wereplace right between the maniacs and the cops. Wonderful.
I'll say it again...kids have NO PLACE at such a thing, and NO PLACE being arrested for it. Their parents either allowed it or put them up to it. Thus, those parents are either blindly stupid or fanatically foolish.
"So, it'd be just fine if they got arrested at a protest for, say, save-the-trees?"
If was someting put on by World Wildlife Fund or one of the Greenie Weenie groups...no I wouldn't.
If it was something about saving the oldest tree in the town we live in? I probably would.
I have kids from 15 down to 7. My 10 year old daughter has asked me more adult questions about Iraq than I've ever gotten from some people my own age and definately more intelligently asked than has ever come from one of the DUmmies.
I'm just saying never underestimate our youth.
