This guy rivals Rachel Corrie for stupidity. Comes to New York simply to cause trouble, gets busted and now he wants pity. Should have stayed home and took care of his family rather then going to New York engage in violent protest.
Again, he DIDN'T ENGAGE IN THE VIOLENCE HE IS ACCUSED OF.
Can you not read or comperehend the English language?
Maybe he did something else violent while there, but I am not going to assume that without any evidence. He wasn't the one to light the fire.
As far as we know, he was there to peacefully protest, even if others weren't.
