Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 It would be good if there were several thousand activists who could form a protest circle 100 yards all the way round the place!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I believe that's exactly what happened with a couple of London fur shops - Zwirn's was it? Looks like they're getting seriously worried. Good. Bad precedent though, banning peaceful protest. None of this will stop the *really* effective actions of course. , jj freeman <xxxveganxx> wrote: > sorry for my language here, buts that complete shit. i really cant believe this is happening. here is my question, lets say, we want to protest a fur shop. if this small fur shop (one of the few main whole salers in utah), they can take us to court and not allow us to protest in front of their shop?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 It sounds like they can! I suppose it depends what type of demonstration it is though. They might not bother unless there is trouble, I suppose.
