9. I don't believe that protests or civil disobedience should act as a get out of jail free card
I don't know the ins and outs of this story, but if similar unsanctioned disruption for any other purpose would result in the same punishment I don't see how a special exception could be made in this case.

Actions can have negative consequences, even noble ones.
