The protest in Yemen have seen many killed for voicing there opinions. The violence could end up starting a civil war. Protesting or displaying your opinions does not deserve punishment. People abuse authority when they are given to much and there is no oversight. The Durham parks club has been protesting for years now to have a park renovated in Durham. The City Council has not agreed with them, but also, they have not opened fire on them. This is a protest against a group that wants the money to go elsewhere or to the projects they desire to be done. There is constant violence in Durham and maybe if the kids had a descent park to go to they would not be in the streets shooting each other and breaking into our homes. Violence is everywhere, from Durham to Yemen, and protesting or expressing your opinions should not led to punishment. Whether it is physical punishment, alienation of or discrimination against a group, there should be no violence or harm of any kind done to someone for voicing there opinions.
