I am appalled, and not at all surprised, at the behaviors of certain protesters at the recent fracking meeting at the Boulder Courthouse.
Such behavior is pure bullying, the hallmark of common rabble. Is this what they think citizenship is about? If such behavior was made against their position they would justifiably scream bloody murder; but oh, if it's their side, then decency, civility and responsibility just go out the window.
The window, I suspect, of a nice looking car in many cases, and good for them, but is it so terribly obscure to notice that the cars run on oil, and easy oil is a thing of the past? How do they think their entitlement to endless oil (at warm and cuddly prices), indeed for those very children, is supposed to be supplied?
It would be the finest form of justice, not to mention better behavior, if these children so innocently used as "rabble pawns" should grow older, wiser, realize how their bullying parents so cheaply used them, and deliver to their parents a thorough tongue-lashing about true citizenship and responsible behavior.
