1. Good!

2. How pathetic is it that we have to celebrate "progress"

that is defined as "giving a clear warning and a means of exit" before using tear gas, pepper spray, etc.? Or for prohibiting using same to disperse peaceful protesters?...Christ on a cracker, this country is far down the road to hell.

And is any of our own media reporting on this, and the implications, or just the foreign press?

3. I think credit should be given to the protestors

...who have been regularly defamed in their efforts. It certainly is progress to have authorities recognize those rights to demonstrate peacefully without being met with unjust or undue force by police which many of us feel should be automatically assumed and granted. It's also, as you say, pathetic to need to petition for those rights. I certainly welcome this development and look forward to determining whether the prohibitions and oversight actually make a difference.

4. Absolutely! the protestors deserve credit:

Thank the gods for them; they, and their mass movement, are just about the only thing that gives me hope.
