If this had been a far-right group, or maybe an anti-abortion group that decided to target hospitals—breaking into them and intimidating nurses—we would not be saying, “You’ve got to give people the right to express themselves in the name of their cause”. We are all guilty, me included, of seeing things differently depending on how we feel about the basic cause but, as legislators—as those in a position of privilege in this House—we have to do everything that we can to put our underlying sympathies for any particular cause to one side and to treat all causes equally, if the law is broken in this manner.
