Trespass To Stop The Bombs

A protester walked onto a closed naval base on an inhabited island used for live bombing practice. He went up to a security officer, said he was a protester, and asked for water. Entering the base without the commander's permission is a federal crime. He said the shelling was harming the people who lived there, so his trespass was necessary. That defence required him to show the harm was immediate, that his act would help stop it, and that lawful options had run out.
