HAhahahahah...the man is from Denmark....he understands protests culture.
I think the we see here a big difference in how to look at the situation between europeans and americans (much more than in our Iraq debates:) ) (yes 25 years of smileys)
Protesting or striking is a great thing to be able to do, it is not always nice, the protesters often try to go as far as they can, and the police also does this often.
We (or at least me) are however far more concerned with the rights of the protesters (even though we don't have to agree with what they are standing for), while you are more concerned with the side of the law.
Protesting has to go to or over the edge of what is allowed, otherwise it is not protesting. If they trains go on strike, that is very annoying.....but I understand why the people do it. (I have seen a strike at a supermarket in teh US once where the strikers were not allowed to talk to the people walking by....every 5 minutes a policecar passed by to see if this was all going fine...).
If we however look at the south koreans...they go much farther than us in europe.....those guys know how to protest.
My point being that every country has a different level of accepting protests before acting, and also a different way of acting. That is probably why we don't really agree with/ understand eachother here.
(ps I understood you were talking about protest culture (this phenomenan at these discussionmeetings) but I just wanted to make a nice story....)
