- The news reports I saw said that the counter-demonstrators were "few"
- and reported no disturbances (and we all know how much the media like
- to dwell on fights).
-
- Besides, what are you complaining about? That if there was a small
- disturbance the police did their job and stopped it? That's much
- better than many large marches fare.
-
- There were no reports of anyone trying to abridge the marchers' right
- to assemble and speak. And there was certainly no abridgement in
- fact--by all reports the demonstration went off smoothly.
-
- So you're going to have to do better if you want to use this case to
- bolster some kind of conspiracy theory.
-
- Unless you're just joking again :-).

- Best,
