Can talk over and over about whether you agree with their tactics, but that’s not the point here. These people, regardless of how they might inconvenience others, are doing what they believe is right. They’ve been handed ridiculous sentences here that are far higher than what some can expect for violent crimes.
A scandalous ruling.
I like to think that this heavy handed sentencing might backfire on them. It was meant as a deterrent to other planning similar actions, but in practice I think it could be generating more outrage at the injustice and encouraging more people to join the fight. I hope so anyway.

they let the world know who’s really in power. we live on a planet ruled by the gas and oil companies. that explains the whole fucking mess were in today.
