Those extremists were dragged into the prisoner bus like fish in a net, getting what they deserved. Astral Tech didn't seem to care about the cameras or the reporters at all. It was as if they give zero f*ck about their image. I bet they had already recorded all the crimes those extremists committed. So that they can use it later in case some dumb human rights activist comes out of their hidey-hole.
Personally, I understand Astral Corporation's heavy-handed tactics. The robberies of their stores were no joke. The extremists literally cleaned out an entire convenience store the last time. Everything that wasn't nailed down was taken, even the drink dispenser!
