If they're cracking down on the people gluing themselves to random objects/highways and, as is described in the article, assaulting others with rocks, then I see nothing wrong with that.
Seriously being treated as a terrorist and 30 days of jail for maybe glueing yourself on a street as polictical protest, is a normal fair reaction in your mind?
