This is pretty bad. It's hard to tell as the protestor was unable to witness
the actual act but it sounds as if was applied with a tool designed to allow
the ink to permeate the skin rather than sit atop.

It's a pretty vile act to carry out on someone against their will.

I'm sorry, but there really is not much substance here, IMHO. A protester was
marked with UV ink after being arrested. The article is literally 4 paragraphs
about it, with most of it being the protester retelling the harrowing story of
being "violated" by the ink. Maybe there is a significant civil rights
violation in place here. I don't know. What I do know is that I didn't get
much value from clicking the link, and I doubt many others here will.

no, no substance. People are getting branded like cows but we'd rather read
about the same ruby vs. python stories. That is substance!
