For those of you who don't know how the protesters were treated, here's what one of them had to say:

I was talking about the feeling amongst the people in the Fleet Center, not the people who decided to put people into cages. They had no say in it, wiseass.

And, yes, I did check them out. For anyone who doesn't know, though, that particular part of Boston is literally a construction site, so it's no surprise that they had them in "cages." They've been doing road work and the like there for over a year. And for any of those protesters to say they're blameless in anyhting that happened to them is absurd. They were not only vicious, but they were crude in a way I had never seen publicly displayed. I'm not condoning the use of those cages, but they were simply out of line at times and some should have been arrested for civil disobedience.
