I would like to know what others think about having to ask for permision to protest or risk being arrested. The biggest changes in History where achieved through protest from oppressed people. I also realise that protests create caos in the rythym of a city and sometimes even theft and damage to property from opportunists.

well we dont see people out protesting for more war ......so to protest is legal under the basic of a ethical rights ......and human rights ....the right to free speech ...to voice discrimination ..or to advocate for peace..... rally to protest is a basic human instinct .....we live in packs ....we live with like minded people ......we are generally attracted to others who have the same feelings or opinions .....a lone human protesting is not taken serious .....so we voice our injustice in groups rallies ...the basic human instinct ...to rally as one ....to voice as one ....so the fear the thought of rallies is unfair ....and anti humanitarian.... yes they are also rallying to show their fear and to squash the voices of those who are protesting with the right to voice to their human rights ......so why fear the truth .....any protests i have ever been to are done humanly and for a great cause ....its those that put threat and fear in our way ....that should be arrested ...for abusing our basic right to free speech

Protesting against something is each individuals last hope of a satisfactory solution to an unfairness in ones` work place or,as is happening more often and worldwide,an intolerable situation one does not agree with.
Protesting is also one of our rights.Asking for permission is just a formality and could be ignored if necessary,after all what is a protest for if not to express our
individuality.
