- There really is. You don't get to storm government buildings because you're unhappy at a trade agreement. And if the cops tell you to back off... - Max Feb 20, 13:58 3
  - But if there are a small number of protesters inciting violence, the response should be proportional - Roger More Feb 20, 14:30
  - There's some blame to be had by both sides, but I think that the majority of the blame lies with the government. - spamlet Feb 20, 14:16
  - There's very reasonable evidence that the gov't (and Moscow) has hired cossack goon squads to attack protesters. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 20, 14:09
