Court Story

 Just an odd side note to the activist action going on at the coal site in NW Germany.  RWE (the owner of the property) now says it's got lawyers working with the police....there will be a court action against the protest crowd.

Amount discussed in the news?  More than a million Euro.

Where this will lead to?  Well....if there was a backer or foundation in the financial support of the activists....then the court will allow that backer to be sued.

I'd not going to suggest its crazy, but it's a radical trend that hasn't been done much.  

My guess is that folks who were arrested....will be brought to court and asked if they were compensated.  Those who answer yes.....will be asked who paid them, and that will lead the court to the guilty party.  If you answer no.....no compensation and later money is found to have been transferred to your account....well, you might be in for some difficult court action, and tax evasion.
