I'm all for free speech, I support protests again perceived wrongs and I still think whoever pulled this needs a spanking.

I'm going to be honest, I believe in nuclear power, even if its with reservations in america's case. So yes I'm largely pro nuclear energy, I just want it done right. I can and do understand why people in america are worried about nuclear power given america's reputation for letting businesses ignore safety regulations and getting little to no penalties when doing so.

So I support the right to protest against nuclear energy, but doing a boneheaded stunt like this isn't allowable. This sort of thing could look like a possible attempt to sabotage a nuclear plant and the stakes in such a case are just too high to let anyone go near that. The risk of this being done a few times and lulling the security into a belief that a real attack might be another protest...no, just no.
