[Title]Protesters Protest Protesters Protesting Protesters
[Validity]Invalid for nations that ban protests
[Desc]At a recent protest staged by your opposition, a group of your most loyal supporters arrived to counter-protest. The result was violence erupting among both sides and the death of many. Now, those same protesters are outside your office demanding that you take action against counter-protests.
[Option 1]"Those darn hooligans ruined my protest and committed murder to boot. Why don't you put your rowdy followers on a leash!" complains opposition leader @@RANDOMNAME@@. "All counter-protesters do is barge into protests, disrupt them, and turn them into free-for-alls where innocents die. Protesters should have the right to protection from counter-protesters trying to hurt them for their beliefs."
[Effect]protesters often protest about not being able to protest against protesters
[Option 2]"US acting like hooligans? Impossible!" interjects @@RANDOMNAME@@, a counter-protester who managed to barge into your meeting room while wearing a cardboard cut out of your face. "You forgot to mention the part where we were just peacefully counter-protesting, then y'all started going bananas about us just being there. Punishing violent protesters? Sure, go ahead. But preventing us from voicing out our opinion? Outrageous!" @@HE@@ dodges a burger thrown by your Chief of Police and instead it hits you.
[Effect]students scolded for talking back to teachers reply with "Just saying my opinion"
[Option 3]"The real problem isn't counter-protesting, it's the sheer amount of violence." claims your Chief of Police, who seems unapologetic about hitting you with a burger. "What we really need is more funding and more police to prevent protests from turning violent. Oh, and some cool new toys for me and the boys to help cool down these hot-headed fellas." He places stun grenades and tasers on your desk.
[Effect]@@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ say "Two police officers are company, a thousand's a crowd"
[Option 4]"You know, these counter-protesters gave me a great idea." states @@RANDOMNAME@@, your third cousin and author of How-to Repress Opposition. "You could gather a huge army of your followers and have them pretend to be supporters of your opposition. Then, they stage a violent protest and cause absolute mayhem. The public will be outraged and your opponents will be disgraced." @@HE@@ pauses. "Darn it, I wish I had thought of this sooner. I could've added this to my book."
[Effect]@@LEADER@@'s opposition often find themself saying, "Our greatest enemy is ourselves"
[Option 5]"Here's Johnny!" says an overzealous man swinging an axe around and wrecking your office. He puts his axe down, shoves your third cousin out of the way, and says "Frankly, @@LEADER@@, we need more protests so I can continue to cause chao-- I mean, so everyone can get their voice across! Pay people to protest every week to make sure everyone's voice is heard!"
[Effect]government officials have to deal with a mob outside their office every week
