The rcmp should be making arrest for blocking a road/highway and get the workers working as they are paid to do,this isnt oka/quebec.So rcmp officers start checking your law books and arrest the protesters for the obvious crimes being commmited here.
ReplyDeleteanti-protester/all 4 shale gas in n.b
Unlike the prior commenter, i do not think arresting anyone is in order here. I believe if this is a peacefull protest, i surely see no violence as presented, then this will take its course.Who owns the road? There are many issues at hand. Thank you for the coverage.
