| Message | What constitutes a risk to publiuc safety? A group of youths standing together? Yes, that is what will happen. Youths will be unfairly treated, because there is a fear of them. IT IS A FUNDEMENTAL RIGHT TO BE ALLOWED TO ASSEMBLE FREELY |

| Message | We are with the Capitalists on this one (never thought I would say that lol). Youths are often scapegoated as a problem of society. We feel the problem lies in the economic and social injustice many of them face. Many feel they have no future and thus branding them as criminals will push them further into this way of thinking and a life of crime. |
