Huh. A while back on here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42390479) you were complaining that Alex Jones was getting too many consequences for his statements. Was he a child? Why the change in tune?
If these people at ADA were now facing a legal battle where somebody was claiming $1bn in damages, and their assets were being sold off to a bidder controlled by Trump, then I would also be claiming foul play. But these people were simply ejected for seemingly not following the rules, which seems like a reasonable action.
<current government>, isn't really your <typical government>. Protest is warranted. And I'm sure that these serious people felt that their actions were justified. I'm glad they did it, and I'm glad I have read about it.
I'm not making this political. I'm simply stating that they took an action, and they knew what the result of taking that action would be. They then can't get upset that the clear consequence of their protest was an entirely predictable outcome.
