If you google "farmer name activist" the results light up like a christmas tree. (Where the actual name is substituted in, of course.) Regardless of the merits of the actual issue being protested, presenting this as "poor innocent farmer arrested for going five seconds over" doesn't seem accurate. I previously observed that of course getting arrested wasn't something he would have planned... OTOH, given that this is the second time the "five seconds over" story has been posted to HN, seems like somebody is leveraging the 'Streisand Effect'. |
