No, and people who support Americans right to free speech and fear those who would not support that right.

Good thing no one here has argued against their right to free speech. Supporting the right to free speech is very different than criticizing what they say and how they go about doing it.

Trying to shut them up isn't any better in my personal opinion. But that of course is a personal opinion.

Who is trying to shut them up?

At most they are being told in some locations that they will have to obey the local laws if they wish to continue camping out and playing Che Guevara.

I'm very much opposed to prohibition of drugs of any kind but it is a huge mistake to think that to criticize drug use is pro prohibition as insinuated by your post. For example, we can both criticize and ridicule speech that we feel worthy of such, but that has no bearing whatsoever on our beliefs of free speech. This is an important distinction.

Watching? I thought you were down there supporting them. Do you have any live photos at all to share of the "milling cops" or whatever you think is happening? Or are you just reporting after reading authentic mainstream media accounts?

I wasn't down there in support but there for my amusement and curiosity. I'm very much looking forward to the enforcement of democracy: parks are closed at 12:00 pm

What happened to the concrete people? Unreliable blogs say it was all a hoax.

Are you down there reporting? OregonLive reports someone's tent is on fire.
