[Grovenet] Sad and disgraceful episode

[David Morelli]

Civil disobedience has a personal cost, and these protesters knew  
that and took the challenge.  They paid their share of the cost of  
their illegal actions.  That is to be expected.

The actions of the police, as described, was also illegal.  As a  
civilized nation we can allow the protester to accept and pay for  
their actions.  We can also require the public employees of Nassau  
County to accept and pay for their actions.

No one should be above the law, and no one should be beneath the law.
