Hi Ryan, as you were just saying about Re: choices in America....

I guess it depends upon your definition of 'the system'.

Done through the First Amendment and the ballot box.

Hmmmmm, the right of free speech via protest of a unpopular war.

Again, through protests and the ballot box.

And, in general, none of those things you mentioned were outside 'the
system'.  They were all accomplished (although some individual laws
were broken by individual protestors) in accordance with the
Constitutition and its BoR.
This thread, however, has strayed from laws and law enforcement.  I
extend an invitation to you to join us over on the CIVLIB echo.
