Occupy RNC ends in tears, frustration

As Mitt Romney delivered his remarks at the RNC on Thursday night, marking the end of planned events, demonstrators living in the “Romneyville” protest camp led a final march through the streets of Tampa.

of listening. They quickly threw out Code Pink protesters...

And of course, "It's not democracy when they don't listen". Democracy's root words having to do with the will of the people.
