I found some of the NATO meeting protesters despicable.
Why come to a protest wearing goggles and a bandanna over your face,
and another over your hair?
Only reason I can imagine is that you intend to damage property,
and you want to keep your identity a secret.
That's hardly the peaceful expression of dissent and disagreement.
Consider the potential ramifications if your employer (for example)
doesn't agree with your political views as you make them known in a
protest. You might be exercising your right to free speech at the
expense of your livelihood.
In the very polarized climate of hate that is pervading your country,
there are many very good reasons for why a dissenter may want to hide
his or her identity, while at the same time registering his or her
disagreement with the policies of the day.
The world isn't above persecuting dissenters.
