You would be right if they were fired, but they were arrested by the state. Not so free to protest.


Well there are limits. You can’t for example protest in my living room or by breaking into the Capitol building. Trespassing can be a form of protest but it’s still illegal.


If they had broken into the offices after violently clashing with police, or if they were ransacking the place, I would be 100% in favor of arresting them - just like the Jan 6 protesters who attacked the Capitol.

Instead, as far as I've seen even from the Daily Wire, these people just walked into the offices of their company's boss (at worst breaking a lock?) and were sitting there without disturbing his papers or breaking his computers or anything violent.


What point are you making? Calling yourself a protester means you can do whatever you want with someone else's property?


They weren't arrested for protesting. They were arrested for trespassing.


They have since been fired too.
