Ironic that a criminology student should be arrested for commiting a crime

He claimed that a short time later four policemen approached him and asked him to stop. He said he wrote one more letter and was then arrested.

It then goes on:

About a month later he carried out another similar pavement protest, during which he wrote: "As the buildings go up, the wages go down."

and finally:

He added: "You could say what I was doing was deviant behaviour but I never thought I would be arrested.

He was kinda asking for it. Though I think this is more akin to a public disply designed to prove the loss of liberty. This is a publicity stunt in order to make the point and have his voice heard. No media coverage would have happened if not for the arrest/s.
IMHO I think that he's right! Our freedoms and rights are at risk and we lose more each year.
Would a pavement artist be treated in such a manner? I think not but they don't make politically sensitive remarks:
