You made a choice, an illegal choice.. The police were doing their job.. Opinions aside, you broke the law and should be treated like everyone else.

The crime is committed by the VA Tech administration for allowing the athletic dept to park vehicles on the roots of 400 year old ancient old-growth trees as if the woods are a parking lot. VA Tech has enough parking spaces in paved parking lots for the football players and others to park their vehicles. If you are so eager to comment use your last name Jimmy! And FYI we will not serve anytime nor do we consider our protest a crime.

I am sitting here reading this, this, wining about getting arrested for doing something wrong? And the paper has the stupids to even print it? Sheesh, the world needs another crybaby like a hole in the head. Get a life! Realize that in the real world you don’t have the right to anything if you break the law! Really, you’re complaining about metal hand cuffs after you broke the law? You’re complaining because Tech, a State funded school doesn’t have the money to buy big roomy cars after you voted to put no new taxes in place? Hm, I see a double standard here. As long as it’s you you want comfort, but anyone else you want what you got? Grow up and join the real world. Nuff said.

Last I checked staging a peaceful protest on state owned land was not against the law unless they were impeding traffic flow. Seeing as how a forest isn’t typically a traffic area I think arresting them was a little excessive.

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time!
