A U.K. judge handed down shockingly harsh sentences to peaceful climate activists, sparking outrage and disbelief. Is this justice or suppression of dissent?
Perhaps you don’t value your time or the safety of those around you. But there are those of us who do.
I have no problem with protests but when you directly affect or impede people who have nothing to do with what you’re protesting it is a very serious issue. In this case it is equal to a conspiracy to kidnap someone.
It’s not ok to kidnap random strangers going about their day and detain them.
It’s equally not ok to do that on the general public who are traveling and disrupt basic safety services. It’s ok to have your protest but don’t fuck with other people’s freedom of movement.
Interesting… so what are your thoughts on the practice of Kettling then? Police have used this tactic on protests that were properly permitted but may run afoul of the incumbent parties views.
Using your logic this seems like it is just a small inconvenience for the protesters.
Awwh, you think being detained by cops is the same thing as road closures? Next time they start doing construction are you gonna file kidnapping charges? XD
It was a simple question which you’ve decided to not answer and instead make a snide remark.
So I’ll ask it again what are your feelings on the practice of Kettling? It seems like if you’re ok with being illegally detained by protesters, you would be just as ok with being illegally detained by police?
Pretty simple leading question, of course. If you want to equate police malfeasance with protesters who dare cause any sort of disturbance to the status quo, then that sounds like a “you” problem.
Oh no! My journey!

Omg that’s the whole point of protests. They are meant to disrupt you and get you to pay attention. You two commentators are ding bat’s.
You sound desperate and cringey.

Says the person who thinks inconvenience should be illegal.
Freedom of movement implies the freedom not to move (while in the middle of a road), not the freedom from temporary obstructions.

Lol. OK buddy. Go back to your plastic bubble now
Which might be the back of an ambulance…or perhaps you are going to see a relative who is dying… but hey who cares about that?
Oh no! My shifting goalposts! Waves wand: “Argumentum ad Passiones!”
Did it work? Is he gone?
I don’t know you and I pray I never do but I get the impression you’re bit of a a cunt.
You might not know me, but I sort of wish I knew less about you.
Funny thing is you went looking down my comments - how pathetic is that? What kind of douchbag does that? 😂😊
I am just waiting for my taxi so I’m just killing time but you clearly live on here…god I pity you. You must have a lot of time on your hands…#bellend
Two hours waiting for a taxi. Magnificent save, my man.
