Protesters should appreciate freedom

As an international student at MSU, I am shocked to see news reporting a Lansing group of people who protested against the election result and their president. I wonder if they would ever be allowed to live freely again in other countries for doing such dishonoring things?

Around the world, there were pro-democracy protesters crunched by military tanks; there were ethnic groups killed and dumped into mass grave by dictators; the list goes on and on. But this group is still enjoying so much freedom for doing what many around the world would never dare to.

Maybe they should be granted free traveling tickets to live in countries like the former Iraq. One protester's sign says that the president is not their president.

Maybe they should consider moving out of this country, but I bet not one country around the world would welcome them.
