    So our prisons are so overfilled that we’re letting some people out early, but we have space for this?

      Well obviously… What’s more important? The well being of the population, or the ability of the ruling class to suppress any resistance? Gotta keep those oil barons happy!

          It’s not about my personal annoyance. It’s about breaking the law. There are laws in a democracy too, you know that right? Laws don’t make a democracy authoritarian either. These are just stupid uneducated statements.

          They have just as much freedom to protest as everyone else has. Everyone is the same under the law. If they think they can break the law without punishment, they are simply wrong and stupid.
