So now if anyone does something that is illegal all they have
To do is sit down and nothing can be done to them?
The police have to just Waite for you to stand up or run before they can take action.
Yea, I just robbed the bank but I'm sitting down and acting peacefully.
You can't do a thing to me.
To funny.
And you're just being absurd.
No one has ever suggested any such thing and you damn well know it.
They stopped being passive as soon as they surrounded the police and told them that they were in charge and that they wouldn't let them leave.
Bull. They're allowed to say or chant any damn thing they wanted to the police, so long as they weren't inciting a riot, which they were not. Those officers were perfectly able to leave, SEEING AS HOW THEY DID SO IN SPITE OF THE SEATED STUDENTS.

In Toronto we cleared out the protestors by patiently waiting them out and being reasonable..with out incident and with out any damned pepper spray...Why is it that Americans are so impatient with their young and those they consider odd or a threat? What's the hurry to show the lower ones who is boss? These agressive and impatient actions demonstrate a very fearful and mindless leadership. These are your kids for God's sake - thank God that some of the youth are thinking for themselves - Instead of utlitizing the energy of youth - you spray it in the face like young people who are the future are dogs....Someone has to state that corruption - greed..corporate and banking disloyality are not to be tolerated...Better to have a kid with spirit - than some weasil that goes with the flow ...in a river of crap.
Canadians might not be so tough and willing to get hurt as Americans are. I can tell you that from watching the original viral video that the students were trying to keep those guys penned up and used the sit down as a method of keeping them from going down that walk to get out of there. Maybe you have missed some of the activity but they were warned that they better get up, One girl in the video kept her head turned from the cop telling her to get out as if that would take his words away.
They deserved what they got and managed to sit there for a bit till he came back.
148. (a) (1) Every person who willfully resists, delays, or obstructs any public officer, peace officer, in the discharge or attempt to discharge any duty of his or her office or employment, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
So haul them off to jail and fine them. That's been agreed to over and over and over again here.

As used in this section, “physical force†includes, but is not limited to, use of one's person, individually or in concert with others, to impede access to, or movement within, or otherwise to obstruct the students and teachers of the classes to which the premises are devoted.
Blocking a sidewalk is a "physical force" An individual who, while sitting or standing, has locked arms with another individualis not engaged in passive resistance but is engaged in proactive action to obstruct.
You missed the whole intent thing here. They weren't blocking the sidewalk with the intent to prevent students or teachers from attending classes.
And yes, that matters.
But even still, feel free to charge them with that, send 'em to jail if you want, and fine them the $500.
BUT YOU DON'T GET TO PEPPER SPRAY THEM DIRECTLY IN THEIR FACES.
I'm officially done with the whole lot of you. Too lazy or stupid to read for comprehension. Continually misrepresent or ignore the arguments actually put forth. And continue to advocate for elevated use of force where it is not warranted, just because you have some sickening hatred for kids who want to be able to afford to educate themselves. It's despicable. Unsubscribing now.

C-YA! You mess with the bull, you get the horns. The law is the law regardless if you're a spoiled brat or not.

Shrill, Shrill come back!!!! You didn't answer my question!!!! Come back Shrill!!!!
An individual who, while sitting or standing, has locked arms with another individualis not engaged in passive resistance but is engaged in proactive action to obstruct.
So now that we disagree I have a nasty attitude
Those ADULTS made a choice to break more that one law. As cited earlier.
They escalated the situation as they engaged in proactive action to obstruct. It does not matter if they were sitting around singing Kumbaya or not.
Your opinion or mine it does not matter the law has spoken.
An individual who, while sitting or standing, has locked arms with another individualis not engaged in passive resistance but is engaged in proactive action to obstruct. That is exactly what they did.[/quote]
Actually, no. I've read many of your responses on this and other threads. The attitude comes through loud and clear.
And pepper spray was overkill and unwarranted in this situation.
