Yes that is what protest law is. You are not understanding free speech and the right to protest lol.

    Free speech does not protect damaging property anyway.

    I agree with the guy's message, but all of y'all are having a hard time understanding how the legal system is supposed to work.

    Justice is supposed to be blind and proceed according to the law.

    If you don't like the law, that's where, you, as a citizen, and through your legislature, amend/create those laws.

    That is why it is important to watchdog your legislators. They are the ones that are allowing this shit to happen in the first place.

    Am I glad he was aquiited, absolutely. But the judge wasn't wrong either.

    Man, I love that fucking line, "Never again is now".

    What is "protest law" in the UK? Where on the world does free speech allow spraying slogans on public buildings?

    He actually covers it in the closing arguments (the definition of protest law). I am not familiar with UK law, but it shouldn't be hard to double check

    Tip: protest law does not make many generally illegal things legal if you were protesting. It was a rhetorical question because the person above was implying it would do something it doesn't.
