> Calling the building owners 'assailants' for simply wanting to peacefully occupy their own building is quite insane.

The characterization of “us” as “assailants” is an acknowledgment of the sorrowful fate that we as a society inflict on nearly every whistleblower despite the fact that we as a society encourage people to be whistleblowers.

This is conflating whistleblowing with the need to pay rent on your residence. This guy is not exactly a Julian Assange.
