You misunderstand completely. Two words:
"Private Property."
If Randy Redwood and Sally Sprucetree chain themselves to my property, I don't have to let "support people" enter my property, my office, my facilities.
No, I think it's you who is misunderstanding. What private property? The
demos he was talking about originally were on public property, downtown
NYC. And, for that matter, the vast majority of EarthFirst! actions are on
public property, like the Nat'l Forests.
Neopagan nitwit.
I specifically, in my original post, talked about those who chain themselves to trees, gates, etc. I repeated this point above.
I was referring to the Pacific Lumber Company, for example, where Earth First! activists have chained themselves to company gates, to redwood trees, inside company offices, etc.
For those who block roads, the solution has been what we have done in San Francisco: use an SUV or truck and just keep driving. "Crunch." (We did this during "Critical Mass.')
The bozo named after a Beach Boy who lost his legs when a munitions train wouldn't stop is the poster boy for this roadkill.
I guess they shouldn't have been in the road.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship." --Alexander Fraser Tyler
