Aren’t those just the typical actions of anti-Kinder Morgan protesters, lack of respect for other people, and disgusting, filthy behavior? What kind of moron would actually think they could persuade the police to release a person they had previously arrested?

We are not living in the Wild West.

If the purpose of the protesters was to win friends and influence people as to the justice of their cause, they just shot themselves in the foot with this latest stupidity.  By inconveniencing the police, they are not likely to win themselves much leniency up on the mountain.  By inconveniencing the public, they are not likely to win many converts to their cause.
