Because Bové refused several alternatives to prison. Do you know that FoodFirst.org and the US's National Family Farm Coalition called for his immediate release?

Well, golly.

And it's too goddamn bad you haven't seemed to grasp what I've been saying: What Bové did was not unusual in terms of French union tactics. His arrest--with police bursting into his home in the pre-dawn hours--was totally untypical of treatment usually given French labor leaders.

I've most certainly grasped what you've been trying to say; you've been quite clear. I just happen to think he should do time for having destroyed private property, and if the chump thought he was getting off this time, it's just too damn bad for him.

He opposes the bland homogenization of culinary culture, and he uses criminal vandalism to further those ends. And now he's going to be sitting in the pokey for a spell.

If he can't pay the piper, he shouldn't call the tune.
