How is he making it harder for the rest of us? The people making it hard for him and ultimately for us are the undereducated overmonied freaks addicted to fear and blind to the poisonous level their own boredom has reached. The same socio-cultural mentality that leads to the blanket no-trespass order handed out by the cops with zero legal foundation or purpose to someone who's done nothing wrong leads also to things like invading other countries on a frigging whim, killing and maiming tens of thousands, going into people's homes and shooting them on the spot, and putting $10 billion a year into the pointless destruction of an entire, and ancient, society. It's exactly the same mind-set. I'm with Rabs: take to the streets.
