While a DAMN SHAME violent arrests were made and people were hurt, a law was being violated.

It's fairly well-known that signs are not permitted to be carried on the Courthouse steps. This was unfortunate, but ignorance of that law is no excuse.

Know the law & act within it. Anyone attending a protest should be aware, or should have been made aware, of any and all site-specific laws in place prior to their participation.

@RazberyBandit No offense, because it's obvious that you're not my enemy here... but I completely disagree with you. The reason being: the system, these laws, those that enforce it, and the 1% that we've allowed to govern... don't follow their own laws. The laws that have been proposed & passed have been done so in a way that is completely unlawful & rigged & have stripped us of all our rights. The more they complicate those laws with more laws, the worse things get. So screw the laws.

@RazberyBandit The government is corrupt. Completely corrupt. And not just here in America. Everywhere. The government's of this world are draining the planet of it's resources. There won't be a planet left to live in if we keep going the way we're going. 30 years, tops, is the time we've left if it continues this way. It's time for a complete overthrow. The future of the planet & humans literally depend on it.

Maybe u should shoot a gun..... not a camera

Oh dear. Here is my thing, and let me first say, the cops and higher ups are pathetic for resorting to arrest before any attempt at diplomacy. But, the thing about decent, is that it often gets you to not see clearly. The crooked division and carelessness which ppl in power use wealth, these protestors see, and I wish everyone did. But, they don't always see how to play the game. It's a mind game. If you can subconsciously altar the minds of both power and people in your favor, you'll win.

@RazberyBandit what are you a cop? duh, yeah. That building and steps belong to those ppl... they have, in my opnion, the right to peacefully protest the suppression of our ppl.

[BarronInsightFawkes]

@RazberyBandit They have broken the law over and over and over again... Its time for us to stop conforming and following orders, its time for us to stand up against stupid laws like signs not being able to be on the courthouse steps...

@joonipuur Thx. I didn't mean to sound high-and-mighty at all, or offer defense of the action. Most actions the police took I completely disagree with.

I was simply pointing out how it is each individual's responsibility to know where they are and what they're doing, as well as the repercussions that may arise from their activity. I realize that standing at the C-house steps and holding a sign is a protest against a rather dumb law. But it is a law, and it was willfully violated.

@joonipuur Good work .  Call these surveillance toadies out!
