Bush coming into saint Louis again. Should I go and see? [View All]

A friend asked me if I wanted to come out to protest.

Ok, but then I read this...

"Police have repressed protesters during several Bush visits to the St. Louis area as well. When Bush visited on Jan. 22, 150 people carrying signs were shunted far away from the main action and effectively quarantined.

Denise Lieberman of the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri commented, "No one could see them from the street. In addition, the media were not allowed to talk to them. The police would not allow any media inside the protest area and wouldn't allow any of the protesters out of the protest zone to talk to the media." "

So I gotta wonder..whats even the point of protesting if no on will be allowed to see? it seems they are trying to make it so I might as wel lprotest in my room (at least it's heated)

So if anyone can think of a god reason to bother, please let me know becuase I do want ot protest..just not in vain.

oh, and is anyone else from DU thinking on going there?
