And despite rumors to the contrary, BCC had a robust legal support structure in place, although it didn’t end up having much to do. BCC’s voluminous rhetoric even convinced the cops to halt construction at the site for a day, although they might not have bothered if they’d known how harmless the action would be. That’s about it, though.
