What is Burger King Thinking?

They hired an unlicensed private investigator to spy on the Student/Farmworkers Alliance, a group that is helping immigrant workers to obtain a living wage. Burger King is doing so in order "to prevent violence", although the group is committed to non-violence ala Ghandi and King.

What is fascinating to me is that the firm that was hired is owned by a 25-year old woman with whom Burger King has been working "for years". I guess they hired her when she was a teenager. Perhaps, then she had a license and maybe that was before one of her subcontractors was accused of murder.
