Finally CHOP Protesters Are Coming To Their Senses...
The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or Capitol Hill Occupied Protest is ending. The CHOP protesters put out a call on Twitter telling all of the occupants that the protest was done and that they are instead going to be terrorizing people online instead.

It's the right to peacefully protest not the right to seize part of a city...
