Is it a slightly different twist on the question of whether a tolerant society tolerate the intolerant? It seems to me like the protestors were already treated very liberally and their continued escalation and radicalization led to stronger response. On a smaller scale, you cannot sit on your neighbour's doorstep screaming they hate you and when you get evicted, claim you were right all along.
- _dain_ 5y agoThe way you deal with that is by arresting them and charging them with specific crimes. You do not just get to seize all of their assets without due process. The protest was already cleared away using conventional policing methods yet this law still remains on the books and they are going after protestors retroactively. It is vindictive and despotic.
