Who gives a fuck about MPs running for the basement? That isn't what makes it right or wrong.
If I thought someone really believed that democracy was being taken away from us, then yes, I would support their right to peaceful protest. And occupying a major government building is preferable to many other forms of protest, such as an actual riot.
You are not allowed to break one law because you believe some other law has been broken.
This is contentious. It depends on the severity of the law in question. I mean, we're talking about trespass here. Let's not lose perspective.
Frankly I'm surprised you are taking these views, since you're so strongly in favour of law and order that you want looters to be executed on sight (unless of course it's public property they're looting, which is fine).
Do you see the contradiction in what you're saying here? I'm genuinely curious.
I'm surprised you can't distinguish between the looting of private businesses vs the vandalism of a government office. That you see a contradiction implies you see these two things as equivalent.
