First, you did not answer my question. Let that be clear. A protest is not a hostage taking situation, and when you treat it as such, don’t be surprised when laws that apply to all of us all the time are sometimes applied to your protest. We’re not talking about quelling speech here. We’re talking about illegally seizing property and buildings and refusing lawful orders to vacate until forceful eviction is the only way out. This is just basic civic society stuff. You don’t have a right to occupy property and block others from using it without the consent of the property owner any more than any of us have a right to enter your home and kick you out and refuse to leave until our demands for a free Tibet are met.
