No offense, but this coming from the organization that claimed they 
"could not support the protesting"?

This seems a little... I dunno... hypocritical.

I understand that the end result was good, but to imply that "the 
protestors" and "the EFF" were any kind of "team" is definitely (as 
far as I can tell) not the case at all. The EFF tries now to skate 
through the best of both worlds, disavowing themselves of the 
protestors and hanging them out to dry, and now claiming they were 
"part of the team" and a part of some "combined energy".

Pick a side of the fence and stay on it. :)
