I would most certainly have a sense of wether they were protestors or gardeners, but without a complaint from the property owner, who is fully aware of what’s happening in their front yard, I would also be fully aware that I would have no right to intervene.... that’s common sense And... so as not to cause anxiety, when making analogies, one does not necessarily need to believe in the validity of the analogy.... just that’s its understandable. If you don’t understand my analogy regarding a private organization being initially responsible for its own security, over that provided by the socialist state, which I thought common sense in nature then I’m sorry Edited February 18, 2020 by jany123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if asking a question of them was something that has dawned on you but it would be a good start. Another common sense approach would be to consider the probability of the college extending permission for them to destroy the lawn. I mean, what do you think the odds are of that probability being viable. You could make further use of your common sense and simply put two and two together. Given recent history it's not an uncommon occurrence for climate change activists to cause unwarranted and unjustified mayhem. Given that history is replete with instances (that's 1) and these climate activists are obviously being destructive (that's 1) you put the two together and come up with the correct answer. So many ways for which common sense can be applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... perhaps having found myself in imminent danger of death or grievous bodily harm, on many occasions, is what compels me to not jump to conclusions, but to question things, thereby protecting me from the aforementioned harm. But herein the question causing you grief, was something as simple as “what law was broken?”, which gives no one the benefit of the doubt, but rather, establishes boundaries and responsibilities the “analysis”, if you like, was simply an attempt to explain to yourself, that a complaint must be made for police to act.... explanation/ analysis... call it what you will, but fear not for me, because if imminent harm presents itself again, I’ll not have to waste time with simplistic explanation, as I am herein, whilst reacting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law on protesting needs radical changes... There should be a rite to protest, protesters should be be able to be seen and heard to a point, but it should stop short of actions that cause a nuisance, inconvenience or announce to the public in general. Of course if tens of thousands wish to protest that that may well cause inconvenience to some but if organisers had a legal duty to mitigate such protests as too cause minimal inconvenience or announce. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
