Why are they sweating this kid... wasting their time unless they are pointing towards the group that is using him for a spokesman.
I fear that the kid being a "political protestor" may be the screenwriters' way of saying that "not every protestor deserves harassment".
Rioting in the streets and causing roadblocks is bad enough, at a time when the President's life is under constant international threat, it could put him at risk (same goes for other government officials).
We have the right to assembly but the left tried to prevent Republicans from "assembling" at their convention in NYC to nominate their candidate. The left's free speech does not trump the right's rights.
I think the group is in league with the terrorists.
