It's easy to forget, because of the light hearted tone of the essay, that this was actually an incredibly brave thing to do at that time.

- kalleboo 8y agoYeah it could have easily gone horribly wrong. But I was still surprised by how lightly the police took it and how easily they got off (a parking ticket). It feels like if the same thing happened with the SWAT-and-terrorism-horny law enforcement we have today, they would be locked up under some vague national security charge and not just be allowed to drive off.
- georgeecollins 8y agoBut I imagine that in the moment of bravery this person had a light heart. Courage is freeing.
