Before.


After.


Now in the after shot I can see some graffiti that wasn't there before and that fits in perfectly with the definition of vandalism I work with.

As for the annoyed protestor bit its the way they are moaning about it being unfair they are arrested and think that shutting down a business for daring to abide by the rules of the tax system is just a big jape.

Unless I'm missing something, you've told 2 lies above, is this a professon-wide trait ?
You did miss something, mostly that a whole bunch of people broke the law and got arrested. What would you rather? That they were arrested outside with minimal fuss and damage or the Police had to chase them all through the store trying to cuff them.

They broke the law, they were dealt with. As the saying goes "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" I'm sick of all these protestors who think they can break the law with impunity and when they are actually dealt with they bleat and moan about Police brutality, lies, impoliteness etc. etc.
