I can't speak for him. For me it's about following laws. I'm a stickler, as was seen a while back in the tax evasion thread.

And there's the logos part of the argument. Okay, so it wasn't "handled" in a swift and ruthless manner (how would you have handled it, exactly?). But the issue here is what to do now. Without providing any logical explanation of how to deal with it beyond wrapping up their tents and booting them out, you are coming from a very weak position which makes it difficult for people to get on board.
Ruthless isn't the word I would use, but yes not let them set up tents in first place.

Like I said I don't have all the answers. Waiting for weather change seems like an even weaker position to me.
