Carrboro occupiers, Mayor leave vacant building | NBC17.com

If people trespass on private property, they are breaking the law and ought to be prosecuted for the offense. There is no imaginable justification in this instance and Carrboro ought to show that it respects the law and proceed with arrests and prosecution. The protesters should know that if they break laws in exercising their right to protest, they will be arrested and charged. Obey the law and protest all you like; break the law and go to jail.
