Honestly it's fantastic they did this. Could have taken the easy way out with some panty-wasted PC HR BS!
Interesting bit at the end of that article about blocking highways. While I am all for laws keeping people from blocking highways, a felony with a max term of 5 years seems a bit draconian.
I dunno. Seems like a reasonable deterrent to me. Personally I think roadways should be cleared of protesters by snowplows.
