Great video. Good American.

Abbie Hoffman had his nose broken eight times. Tactics like those described in the video are milder, but just as destructive and bad for democracy. If someone has the werewithal to express themselves at the capitol, no one should interfere in any way. Anyone that does is harming the nation and spreading darkness. Period.
