You don’t have 100 people show up at someone’s home to ask questions. Not only is that not the time and place for it, but 100 people is intimidating and disturbing the peace of a residential neighborhood. A City Council would have told them the appropriate way to get their questions answered during regular office hours.
From the article, Snohomish County Sheriff Fortnoy also said it well:
Fortney added that the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has been “supportive and accommodating” to all peaceful demonstrations, but said protesters targeting an individual’s home is a “bullying tactic.”
“If this group or any other group wants to protest the government, we would ask they do so at a government building and not at any individual’s private residence,” he wrote.
The time is described as late at night.
Nobody is going to be “asking me questions” after dark, I can guarantee that.
Eve when one has a proper business relationship with another person, the polite way to deal with that individual is to contact him/her during business hours at his/her business location during business hours, not at his/her home.
