I am willing to consider powers which would ban known hooligans from rallies and marches and I will look into the powers the police already have to force the removal of face coverings and balaclavas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am rather in favour of dealing with teenage hooliganism.
The power of protest depends not only on how many turn out, but also on what legislative, judicial, and civil society institutions exist to enact the will of those marching in the streets.
We cannot allow religious hooligans to place limiting points on thought.
We need to send a clear message to gang members that violent crime will not be tolerated.
After the revolution, it might very well remain necessary to place people where they could not do harm to others. But the one under restraint should be cut off from the rest of society as little as possible.
We think there should be a better countering-violent-extremism effort, that there should be a lead agency tasked to handle that.
Who will protect the public when the police violate the law?
Therefore, I feel convinced that any political picture can be changed to suit the needs of the powers that be.
If cars and buses were attacked daily by petrol bombs or stones for 16 months in Washington, could you imagine it would be tolerated? It would not, because in the name of democracy, to preserve democracy, steps would be taken.
If there is no threat to the lives of the citizens, our tactic will be to not intervene or impede members of the protest in expressing their will freely.
