Thank you for the information. One follow up question:
> They were known activists
Does "activist" hear mean they'd previously engaged in illegal activity, i.e. blocking roadways or similar "protests"?
- kioleanu 3y agoThat is exactly what it means, yes
- sho_hn 3y agoI assume so, yeah. The "Last Generation" is a loosely organized activist group that has been making headlines in the country for the past months, and by my understanding these were known associates/members of the org. One of their things to do is to glue themselves down in places to hinder others, think at events, on streets, tracks, airfields, etc. I don't know if there was concrete evidence of past crimes/actions for them. By my reading, Bavarian state law does not require this. In some other States, it is listed as one of the conditions to meet or "likely to repeat" is somehow baked into the lingo.

- burkaman 3y agoI don't know why you put that in quotes, I don't believe there has been a single successful activist movement in history that never had to break the law. That doesn't mean that all illegal protest is justified, but it does mean that the legality of an action is not useful in determining whether it's justified and effective.
