We have no policy or pattern of boosting or downweighting protests in any particular country, and neither of us are from the U.S. I think this one was only on the front page for a few hours over night when we were both asleep and had already been downweighted by the flamewar detector by the time we were online in the morning. Most protests in any country are probably off topic on HN due to being related to mainstream news.
