It's most definitely a response to the UK government passing multiple laws to criminalise protest. The state has made it clear that they will prosecute and harass any protest they don't like, and you'd better believe that includes climate protesters.

“Peacefully Protest” is a nebulous term. It can vary from the bus boycotts of Birmingham to the march in Selma. However did “Unite the Right” White Supremacists have the right to rally in Charlottesville. When does a Peaceful Protest and march turn into an attempted insurrection. Does blocking a road, preventing access to an abortion clinic or meat packing plant cross the line. Does gluing yourself to work of valuable work of art or interfering in athletic games. All I’m saying is saying we won’t prosecute peaceful protesters is a slippery slope without clear parameters.

Indeed, the past is just that, past. We should remember it, learn from it, but not let it control us. The mistakes and misdeeds of generations dead and buried aren't ours, live in the present, prepare for the future by learning from the past. Don't live in the past, destroy the future, by making the present the past.

When you try to have an adventure, but you fail and you have to call your parents for help. Where are the goonies when we need them?!

Gahhh one of those fat fuckers clogged our toilet and we had and inch of water on the bathroom floor. Well, that's what my kid tells me. I didn't see it, could have been a massive dump and he's blaming the hippo.

I agree, it's tricky. My opinion is that if we spend time complaining about the past, we are missing out on the future. I have relatives that are living on reservations complaining about how the old traditions are being lost, that would be much better off today if they moved on to modern living. I'm seeing them complain about sacred sites, when they have no clue that our nation was in the Eastern states less than 200 years ago, and they are saying areas we conquered other nations to take have been sacred to us for generations. A poor understanding of history leads to stupid claims. I forgive anyone that has done injustice to my family in the past as I hope others my family may have offended will forgive us, and I hope we can all work together to keep loving others we we love ourselves into the future.

Peaceful protestors should never be prosecuted. Why is that even up for debate? It’s the protestors who destroy, litter, and cause public disorder who should be prosecuted, regardless of what they’re protesting against. Someone throws soup on a painting in a museum? Jail. Someone throws paint on a person? Jail. Someone attacks a police man? Straight to jail. Someone just putting up a banner and raising awareness around an issue? Absolutely fine and many times even needed!

The age old question of how long do you have to occupy an area before it's yours, at least it's nice to see others being aware of this dilemma, because you can apply this globally to almost every single piece of land.

Can anybody explain what he cab rank rule is? In the US, lawyers can choose not to represent somebody if they don't want, apart from perhaps public defenders.
