Go Figure: Free the “Moscow 12”

Item: 'Haunted' old hospital horror story for students: UI group arrested at Colfax building/Amy Cannata, Spokesman-Review

Officer Obie is back, alive and well!
Free the Moscow 12!
Free the Moscow 12!
Come on now--say it with FEELING!
FREE THE MOSCOW 12!!!

What in the world were these college students thinking. Underage (18-19 years old), not drinking, not smoking pot, not vandalizing school structures ... well, that pretty well limits the cultural activites in the Palouse ... but no, these reprobates were going to, going to, going to explore ... I hate to mention it, on a 'G' rated blog site, but here it goes, they were exploring, investigating, and otherwise evaluating a "haunted abandoned hospital," in Colfax ... Colfax Washington, that is. There were no 'no trespassing' signs, no you will be shot on sight signs, no no loitering signs and no most certainly no free beer signs ... and the doors were not locked. No, no, but the, but the, but the neigbors, they were alert, observant, and on the look out for these college pranksters bent on mayhem -- Starr Kelso/Go Figure (full post here).

Question: Should the "Moscow 12" be freed and charges dropped?
