It absolutely is and freedom of speech should absolutely be protected and promoted. Is accountability in a form of government paying the families money? If a more strict policies are established to monitor crowds, would this satisfy the protesters? Are they expecting the President to step down? I’m not from there so I would like to learn the protesters/families point of view.

This was a horrible event and I am deeply saddened for my friends’ motherland of South Korea. Just for my understanding, what is the end goal for these protesters? Once their voices are heard, what exactly do they want from the sk govt?
