      Could you please cite in the article what the list of charges were? I see: “Viana said he didn’t know what charges the demonstrators faced but that some will likely be charged with disturbing the peace and others with trespassing”. Viana, in this context, being the lawyer representing the students arrested from the National Lawyers Guild. Additionally, there was mention of some city ordinances being violated, but no specifics.

          I think we are misunderstanding each other. Are you are confusing city ordinances with legal charges? And, if so, they don’t even call out the city ordinances that were all cited, just that there are ordinances about unlawful camping.

          The article doesn’t mention how many, which ones, and what charges can be levied against someone who violated those ordinances.

            I’m not confused. The article is pretty clear: they haven’t been charged yet (as of the article’s writing), and the lawyer was speculating on what they might be charged with. You even quoted the relevant part.

              I regret engaging with this believing you were trying to be constructive. This is now a closed loop in which, within 3 messages, you claim to know what the charges are, and then you admit the charges are still in speculation. Have a nice day.

                The answer to your question was in the article, and you even quoted it yourself. If anyone engaged here in bad faith, it was you. You even proved it By quoting the answer when you asked the question.

                If you stick your hand in a blender and it gets mutilated, you don’t blame the blender you blame yourself for sticking your hand in a blender.

                If you believed something different was going to happen, that is 100% on you.
