So what do you gain by doing something like this? Show the citizens of the country (and world) that you have no respect for the laws of the land and feel instead that your "causes" should supercede these laws? Show everyone that instead of actually using the name they already have to try and enact change they continue to resort to cheap publcity stunts? I mean really, at the end of the day that is ALL Greenpeace is. Hipster punks who have no problem destroying public and personal property for "the cause". God forbid these dildo's that climbed the tower actually had to debate the merits of the oilsands with educated folk..the debate would likely last 10 seconds as the vast majority of these Greenpeacers care nor educate themselves on anything but the malarky spewn by their windbag "leaders".

Actually son, I don't think you get it. As I've stated already, Greenpeace does not care if you hate their organization; the point of this was to get a message out, knowing full well they were going to get arrested for doing this. I never said I supported their message - all I'm saying is that their objective has been reached.
Do you work for the Calgary Police Service? You seem to care more about the law breaking, which is an entirely different arguement, and one in which I can't argue against - they did break the law I'm sure; public nuisance or mischief or whatever.
Greenpeace has had activists arrested countless times. It's all worked into their plans, and so you're arguing a point that is actually a minor and accounted for issue.
