@daringfireball Is there anything a company could do that you wouldn't find a way to claim was OK? The "goofy college kids" were staging a peaceful sit-in to protest something they felt their company shouldn't be doing. You should be holding them up as an example of democracy instead of celebrating their firing by a corporate behemoth who used their global head of security to make a Mafia muscle-like veiled threat against others who might dare to disagree with the company line.
@tubedogg @daringfireball I’m not certain there’s such a thing as a “peaceful sit-in” in a private space that’s not yours.
@Gregmaletic @daringfireball I’m not sure you understand the point of a sit-in. If you own the space, you’re not making much of an impact by sitting there. There is a massive difference between peacefully sitting there in protest and being violent, taking hostages, etc.
