Comment | Protest isn’t black and white. It’s not “if it’s peaceful, it’s fine”. If I stand with a sign saying “kill blacks” for example, I’m going to jail, quite rightly. Because it’s inciting violence. If I glue myself to a tank it’s borderline, if I glue myself across someone’s door I’m infringing their freedom…peacefully. In this case we have another example, they’re infringing on the freedom of others by making a tough, emotional decision harder and victimising & isolating vulnerable individuals. |
