The preceding events were the catylist for his abhorrent legislation.He was the catalyst for the events that followed.
LOL.And to put things into perspective, the protests were mostly peaceful.
That was impeded by many of the other protesters that felt the need to hinder the authorities attempts to do so.Those who are unlawful are taken care of accordingly. They get their own punishment for their actions.
As wrong as Charet's legislation is, and to be honest, I feel wrong in trying to justify it, the protesters that aid and abetted the criminal element, are culpable.
Hence my position, that there is no clear innocent party in this.
Now, how about you answer this.. How do you determine which rights are more important?
