It is a not a peaceful protests. So why complain?
@TheHolm @MHLoppy
You're protesting about this toot? That does not deserve a $20,000 fine and court silence order. Nobody was injured by the protests. Therefore they were peaceful.
Disrupting other people lives and businesses is not a peaceful protest on my book. Fines should be proportional damage they caused and $20K is top you can get, exact sum is up to court.
If it's peaceful it's peaceful. When I check the dictionary under "peaceful" it doesn't say anything about business.
