White Supremacists in Calgary

Article

Yet another group out to tell the world about their cause. Fine and dandy. I have no problem with it. It is your right and I support that right. The police were doing their job and they did a fine one. One thing I did find amusing was what you protesters were shouting to police, "Stop protecting racists".

What you are failing to understand is that the police weren't protecting racists inasmuch as they are racists, they were protecting their right to their opinion and the right to express that opinion. The very same right afforded to you which allowed you to protest in the first place.

Look, people, you can't have it both ways. If you allow free speech and free thought, such as your own, then you simply must allow speech and thought that you don't agree with - that is how this whole freedom thing works.

I think you made yourselves out to look like a bunch of fools (both groups), but, hey, that your right. The day protestors like you ever succeed in stopping groups that you might not like from expressing their opinions will be a very sad day indeed. For your sake, I hope some one doesn't come along one day and stop you from having your beliefs and the ability to express them. And that is exactly what would happen if you stopped the white supremists. I am sure you are all very inteligent people and you believe you are entitled to speak for us all, but let me asure you that I can speak for myself and I would like to continue to be able to do just that - whether you like it or not.
