Fifty liberal protesters including Duke faculty members were arrested at the North Carolina Legislative Building this past week.
The leftists are holding weekly rallies to protest the Republican super majority.
------
In the four months since North Carolina Republicans took control of both General Assembly chambers and the governor’s mansion, the lawmakers have proposed rapid and sweeping change to the state’s electoral processes, health care policies, welfare management and publicly-funded education systems.

The Republicans, some who emerged from a protest movement of their own – the tea party dissatisfied with the cost and influence of government – contend they’re doing the business of the people who voted them into office. They say their critics are simply bitter that their party no longer is in power.

So, as the new-to-power legislators roll out bill after bill, a new wave of protesters is heading for Raleigh. The protesters say they are not radicals but everyday North Carolinians worried that the leadership of the General Assembly is reversing the state’s progress in ensuring equality, tolerance and respect for human dignity…

HaHaHa! This is some of the same faculty that tried & convicted the Duke Lacrosse players before they were even brought to trial.

They're mad because the republicans are in charge and they're eliminating some of the wasteful spending the democrats have enjoyed for years.

In other words, they are protesting free and open elections. Just how do these morons think the GOP gained a majority? Coup? Junta?

It's like Wisconsin all over again. They're furious at being out of power so like Frank said, they protest the elections, cause havoc and generally whine & moan about their secondary status.
They have no real complaint except they lost. North Carolina has a republican governor along with the house & senate for the first time in over a hundred years.

Is it newsworthy that the opposition attended an opposition rally?

Thirty demonstrators were taken to the Wake County jail on Monday after capital police cited them for trespassing and disorderly conduct. A week before that, 17 people were arrested at the demonstration organized by the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. Though their strategies are modeled on civil rights-era protests, the trailblazers from earlier decades faced longer stints in jail, beatings and job loss.

There are not enough people there to fill a chartered bus. 30 people on any given day? The state has almost 5 million people and that is all they can muster?
