That's because it is a controversial subject with pros and cons on both sides; it's like the old saying, "Never talk religion or politics at a party, unless you intentionally want to create a problem." The subject matter never gets resolved as both sides of the argument can hold their ground very well, just like a shark trying to kill a lion on land and a lion trying to kill a shark in the sea. Both sides have undeniably formidable grounds that support their own arguments. Why such arguments have so many posts, and become personal as name calling and mud throwing gets worse over a period of time really becomes more of a deprived narcissistic masochistic situation. A powerful obsessive addictive repetitive behaviour, very common in young people who will go to extreme physically displeasure to stop mining activities to save the planet being the objective, weather it is true or not is debatable under the dangers the above paragraph description. In it's extreme consider his hypothetical situation that if a group of young people who identify themselves as confirmed activists chain themselves to a gate where a logging company has to enter go into the forest to fell the lumber, and the workers need to feed their already tight budgeted families. And one worker has had enough and gets out with a chainsaw and cuts of the arms of the activists and throws them on the side of the road and says lets get to work. of course it would be the last time the individual cut timber, and it would cause outrage in the activists community. And undoubtedly support the cause. yet a true dedicated activist would say it was worth even though their arm had been cut of. Just a hypothetical on the extreme's of arguments that are unresolvable, just an armless, sorry i mean harmless observation. LOL.

You are correct that there are two sides to any argument or debate - therfor any Politician with half a brain would err on the side of caution to protect all in the community - uneducated McGown chose to enforce his will and in doing so he must be held responsible for harm done to those who are found to be injured - or died. He should also be forced to compensate people sacked for standing up for their rights as they are increasingly being vindicated with actual data supporting their stance
