BostonHerald.com - International News: Protester dressed as Batman scales Buckingham Palace

BostonHerald.com - International News: Protester dressed as Batman scales Buckingham Palace Also be sure to check the BBC's full report. Here is the Gist: A member of the Fathers 4 Justice in England scaled Buckingham Palace dressed as Batman. Now, ask yourself this. You want your group to be recognized. You want more rights. You want more rights in order to have custody of your children. Would the best way to do this be to terrorize the country's leaders? NO!!! How does that get you more rights? If I were the ex-wife of one of these men, then I certainly would ask for a restraining order. But, what good would that do when these guys can break into a palace and then get so close to the prime minister so as to pour purple flour on him. Now, I am all about fighting domestic violence and getting more rights for those parents who should be with their children. But, pulling crazy acts like this? This is not the way to change the world. Peaceful protests, yes. Publicity, yes. Going thru your lawyers or starting up a Not For Profit organization, but not by braking the law!!!
