I have mixed feelings about this sign. The media (specifically, the AP article that was run as the sole coverage by an awful lot of papers) did not lie about the protest, but they did put some really sleazy spin on it by emphasizing the tiny riot that occurred after most everyone had gone home. This should not be condoned. On the other hand, antagonizing the reporters on the scene is not the way to garner good coverage.
