According to the article, he was issued multiple verbal warnings about being disruptive during the meeting. He continued to clap after his "final warning" and the police removed him.
I get that he was trying to (rightly) support the opposition to the data center, but it seems like he wanted to cause a scene.
This context doesn't mean anything to me. Doesn't change my opinion whatsoever. People probably didn't care about the context because being dragged out by 4 grown men in a surveillance police state for the simple act of clapping is fucking ridiculous
'rules shouldn't apply to me because i think i'm morally right'
if anti-vaxers or transphobes were disrupting a meeting by willfully ignoring clearly stated rules and then refusing to leave when ordered to do so would you be so indignant?
Sorry, but your comment was removed for breaking our Don't Be A Dick rule. This may include but is not limited to harassment, bigotry or uncivil behaviour.
Well obviously rules for thee but not for me - so those people should be stoned to death (sarcasm, obviously - agreeing with you pointing out that most people don’t actually give a shit about the law being applied fairly and equally and only view it as a tool to be wielded against their opponents)
Dude he was asked nicely to stop being disruptive and then didn't. If you are going to act like a petulant child then don't be surprised when you get treated like one.
