What's great about this is the guy is on record admitting that he went there specifically "to check out the protest", participated for a while, then later returned and participated again.
This is why you don't talk except through your lawyer. He just made Google's case for them (not like they didn't have it all on video anyway).
You are safe, as you using second-hand information, but Vice might be in trouble for assuming the gender of said engineer when it turns out they are up shit creek without a paddle with Google giving them a handout.
No, it said he purposely went there to check out the protest.
The surveillance tape doesn't capture his specific intent, but now he's told us what it was. You purposely go to the protest, hang out with them, you're part of the protest. If you just go to lunch, there's a protest, and you take a flyer that's another thing.
That's the big thing he should not have admitted to, but we can also read between the lines in things such as him quantifying "4 minutes" when he thinks it'll exonerate him and no qualification whatsoever for how long he was at lunch or working "on the couch". Spoiler: it was waaay longer than 4 minutes.

I don't see that. It said he went to a Google common space and talked to people who were there. He didn't occupy it.
