Did Chain choose to die? He chose to trespass as an act of civil
disobedience. Are you so unaware of American history to know that civil
disobedience is as American as apple pie? Since when is trespassing
punishable by death? That was no suicide mission. The loggers knew the
trespassers were there and proceeded to drop the tree any ways. No doubt
the loggers will go free, and their defense will be "property rights";
the most holy of holyies- which I think is full of holes.
