You can even use a hostage situation if you want. Giving in only sets you up for the next time and there might even be an increase of problems.

Sure they would. They'd have called in sick and let someone else get fired.

I don't agree with the grand idea that they have the right to do as they please because they feel disenfranchised. Tim McVeigh also felt that way. Where and how do you draw the line? I felt that the speed limit was too low so when pulled over, I told the cop to stick it up his ass and I get into trouble. Would you feel sorry for me? I wouldn't.

If you don't like something, feel free to dissent. Do keep in mind that your right to wave your fist stops at my nose. They failed to care. When told to move, they refused. Sorry but I can't feel sorry for what happens.
