This is not the only story I've heard of about a peaceful protest where someone who wasn't harming people were punished. I saw a video, probably on the same site as this one, where one or two people on a motorcycle were carrying a flag upside down. When a soldier spotted them, he started sprinting towards them. Doubtful he was intending a friendly debate about why they were doing it.
People should know better than this. If protest by peaceful means doesn't work, protest by violent means will be the only option left. Sure some people might be cowed and just endure quietly, but some won't. I would prefer picket signs to shootings, personally.
Is anyone else bothered when they hear a story about someone protesting by nonviolent means, and still punished for that? You'd think people would want to encourage that form of protest if someone has a complaint about something. As opposed to assassinations and bombimgs.
