Why the fuck would you cross a border into a neofascist country (of which you are not a citizen) with the express intent of protesting the regime, and provide that as the reason for the trip, and then be surprised by this treatment?

    A lot of people just fundamentally don't know what a protest is or what it's supposed to accomplish and it really shows...

    Like, this was his protest, and it got articles written in Canada about how it's unsafe for Canadians to travel South.
