    The protesters displayed all of the traits you mentioned. By conspiring and planning to commit unlawful actions.

    Are you talking about conspiracy to commit murder or conspiracy to commit minor traffic violations? XD

    Highway engineers can be charged with manslaughter if they display willful ignorance, intent to break the law or have demonstrated that they were deceitful in acquiring a position they were not accredited for.

    So the protesters would be innocent of everything except minor traffic violations.

    It is not so hard to prove with a dozen or so activists who have a history of such actions which are wildly unpopular and illegal. Hence why they are charged.

    With what, “disturbing the peace”? XD

      I answered all of your questions, yet once again you fall back on downplaying the seriousness of the crimes they were planning.

      Putting “XD” at the end of every one of your statements doesn’t make them pithy, smart or relevant. It just shows me you’re pedantic to the point that you can’t string together a coherent argument without leaning on whatever the current zeitgeist is.

      Hopefully the law will prosecute those activists and put them away for a long, long time.
