This is the problem with the Lunatic Left and tree hugging Human Rights lawyers. A human rights lawyer should not be arguing a Criminal Prosecution.
And F&)#ing Judges. "had to balance their right to protest..." But after reading some of the sympatheic/pathetic responses on here, excusing their actions as a public nuisance, it is no wonder they got off.
They have the right to protest.
They don't have the right to break into a secure and/or restricted area to do so.
They have the right to break anything!
They don't have the right to detain anyone or anything.
They don't have the right to force my aircraft to divert.
They have the right to impose the inconvenience on any of the passengers on my flight that I am forced to divert.
As long as the world keeps making excuses for the illegal activities for these types of Social Terrorists then their behaviour will continue.
