I'm not justifying the actions of these people, but it sounds like they're just using the tactics that so many corporations have used against the people and the planet for the last 150 years. Everything you mentioned is what many corporations have done to get their way or usurp labor organizations or defeat regulation. It isn't right in either case, but how much @#$%& is the planet, the people and our country supposed to take so a few rich people can get richer? This isn't about left or right, legal or illegal. This is about THE PEOPLE saying "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Its about time people started shutting down cities/businesses/occupying corporate "private" property and kicking the established in their fat, posh asses.
