Isnt that what the law is ther for? to help people protect their lands? I mean if its their land, and they dont want her there, what else can they do? I mean its their land isn't it? What are we supposed to have? Lawlessness? or are you only ok with your rights being protected and your beliefs, and what you feel for, but not for others? I am a little confused here. You want her rights protected, but dont seem to care for the other groups rights because you disagree with them and agree with her. She can have them banned from her property too if she wants.

What about the right to protest? I know in this case she was the only one which made it easier to prosecute but what if that town didn't want fracking near them. It just seems heavily one sided to those with money. I mean also the fracking company doesn't care what happens to that region once they get paid. 

She has a right to protest. She must have crossed the line from protester to disruptor though. If the town didnt want fracking wouldn't there be more protestors? Perhaps the town is happy to have fracking, and jobs, and food on the table. It seems to me you cant imagine a place or people that disagree with you. Some people would prefer food on the table and a roof over their heads over many other things. I know I would. Also people are perfectly capable of making decisoons regarding their lives, if the fracking is so bad and pollutes them and their enviroment, they will take action. If its not, they wont. No one is forcing anyhting. People are free to move, stay, protest, inform, and make decisons regarding their actions, they just cant force those decisons on others. Seems like things are working correctly.

I think you made me realise how dangerous a biased media can be in a misunderstanding. You make a fair point. But i made my mind up about fracking though, only due to the chemicals involved. Gas is a decent energy source, fracking is just a dodgy method to get the gas out the ground.
