Freedom of speech suppressed at the Jefferson Memorial

[Night Fox]

Sitting down is demonstration and you will be arrested for not doing as I say if you continue to sit.

That actually happened to someone I was with.
When I was in D.C., we visited the capital.
My friend's mom sat down and a police officer told her that she was demonstrating.

And what is with that "disobey" shirt the guy is wearing?

[Bloody Mary]

Are you seriously forming an opinion based on the shirt one man was wearing?

They were arresting them for the no dancing law or whatever.
Sure the law was unjust but it was still a law.

It's your responsibility as a citizen to question authority. Always.
No I'm not promoting anarchism or anything of that sort. Laws are good. However things like this must be questioned and disposed of.

"I invite you to join me here in an act of civil disobedience..."

Piece of stuff iconoclast deserved his jailtime.

Not sure what's going on but the only side I'm getting is the students complaints.
Any more information on this by the police department?

The university has brought it on themselves.

Wait what did I do.

Nah it's fine. I don't give a stuff if I'm not allowed to dance at some memorial or whatever, and neither should anyone else.

So you're basically saying people shouldn't want to dance. Well that's stupid.

That's not what I'm saying at all.
There's no reason to dance at a memorial, and it's not that hard to just not do it.

Just because you don't want to dance doesn't mean no one else "should" want to.

I'm bumping this because it's a fairly interesting subject.

[Grumpy]

I felt what they were doing in the first place wasn't bad, but then they started stirring stuff up on purpose so then I supported the cops.

This video, as posted by Night Fox just a bit up the page here, clearly shows they went there to richard around on purpose to get arrested and 'start a movement.'
