They are just as bad as those that demonstrated against the troops.
Demonstrations are fine....freedom to march and all that but.....one must draw the line when demonstrations will turn into riots.
Like the G20 demo that let's be fair everyone knew where that one was going to go, the same applies to this kind of demo.
IF public safety is put at risk then they MUST ban people from holding them.
As we have already seen from the G20 demo, the police are out in the fireing line and then have to pick up the pieces from any aggro that occurs.
Sorry but the intention at that demo may well have been an honourable way to make your point but....it ended in aggro which once again most people would say it would have done.
The laws surrounding these kind of demos, should be seriously looked into, and changed if feelings are that they will descend into riots.
