Protesting == Terrorism??
It seems some protestors at the RNC are being charged with terrorism charges… This is frightening stuff.

This is even more frightening considering the FBI wants to investigate people without basis for suspicion, the St. Paul police beat a protestor (photos), arresting journalists and photographers under charges of conspiracy to riot, using pepper spray, tear gas and flash bangs to break up protests… And most of that is just this week. Combine that with the FBI planning to spy on peaceful protest groups and it all paints a very scary picture.
Crap like this isn’t supposed to happen in our country…
