Du hättest fuer die Leser einen Auszug aus dem Link zitieren können, was ich hiermit nachhole:

A man who spent six days up a 150ft crane causing widespread traffic chaos in central London has been cleared of causing a public nuisance. (...) Mr Chick, from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, said he demonstrated at not being allowed to see his daughter. He told Southwark Crown Court the police played a "psychological game" to make him look like a "reckless idiot".
As the not guilty verdict was announced, the father-of-one grinned broadly while some 20 supporters - mostly men wearing Fathers4Justice t-shirts - cheered and applauded.
a handwritten police log prepared on the second day of the protest and read out to the jury, said Tower Bridge "could be reopened if required" but pointed out its continued closure "could help in negotiations". Then on day five an officer wrote of the defendant: "Not in any crisis, not swearing, angry nor mentally ill, and did not want to hurt anyone." He added there was a "possibility of weakening of the prosecution case by opening the roads".
