First Amendment rights or vandalism?

During last Saturday's Washington rally protesting the war in Iraq, hundreds of anti-war protesters were allowed to desecrate government property by spray painting the Capitol with anarchist symbols.

That is right! “ALLOWED”.

“Chief Phillip Morse ordered his officers to fall back and allow the protesters to exercise what he called "their First Amendment rights" to spray paint the Capitol steps with graffiti.”

Since when is desecration of public property equates to exercising first amendment rights?. And where is the new media coverage?. I bet if this protest was against how the new minimum wage is affecting small businesses, their actions will be on front page an all major news papers. But anything the anti protesters do is fair game, including beating up others who are supporters for the troop in Iraq.

And anybody who would dare question Chief Phillip Morse actions will surely face the wrath of media!
