I'm not sure I agree that the protestors lost all ethical justification to continue their campaign. They can still try to change the law, even if they lost in court.

Haha, the protestors must be really passionate if they're blocking roads and intimidating the staff. YY better watch out, they might start building a giant hamster wheel to power the wind farm!

I think YY has a duty to protect its employees, but the security firm needs to use the minimum force necessary. The protestors have a right to voice their concerns, even if they lost in court.
