I agree that the vandalism of vehicles is wrong and I hope the college folks who did it get caught and pay the price. I also think that a number of comments made on this site our way out there.
However, I think that watching over a few college kids who are playing weekend revolutionary is not of the utmost importance. I do think it is perfectly legal to have police monitoring a protest, but I don’t see what they could learn from it that a little good questioning wouldn’t get. I think that we make groups like SAW feel more important than they are when we monitor them at all. I am sure it gives a number of folks a kick to think that they are enemies of the state.
I say we just sit back and let them dig their own hole. It’s only a matter of time before their rhetoric turns off everyone but their key 50 supporters.
