The "working men" you value are part of the problem. They made the deliberate decision to throw in with an oppressive government, with the knowledge that ANYTHING they do to "civilians" will be forgiven, including killing them. The only thing that will get them dismissed would be to injure the government. Anything they do to outsiders results in "administrative leave, with pay", until the furor blows over.

I tried to make that kind of point once in a bar where city maintenance workers hung out.. Something about being "at the public trough" -- was as far as I got before the fight started.

Uhm, the man most likely purchased the land with the easements. Secondly, they weren't going to permanently change his land. The guy was a nut (and you may be too).
