Because it was more than a simple trespassing, my EOD team had to respond. There was no hurry, it would have taken them about a hundred years to even put a significant dent in the 110 ton blast door.

But then, they were really not serious about breaking. However, the government was serious with charging them with damaging military equipment.

Protip: If you want to protest, protest. Don't start damaging equipment. If you protest, you will be let go after a few hours. These people weren't.
