Everybody be honest when you support the protesters you consider it democracy in action when you don't it's a mob it does not matter if it's the Tea Party or the group in Austin.
No, they are not the same. If someone wants to protest, like march back and forth somewhere, I dont care what they're protesting for or against. They have a right to do it.
Here, they are trying to pressure and intimidate lawmakers inside the legislature itself. That's mobocracy.
