Your allotted amount of free speech has expired!

So, basically, if you happen upon a group of people with signs, and you decide that you like what they are saying and wish to join in the protest, you don't technically get your full 3 hours of free speech per unspecified amount of time.

I wasn't messing around when I said I had never met some of the people who joined us. One of them saw that we were evicted from the Capitol yesterday, and showed up at the very end of our allotted 3 hours of free speech time, and was told she was part of our "event" and that she would be ticketed and could risk arrest if she didn't leave.

Dude. That's messed up.

By the way. My sign said "All children should have access to healthcare, food, and a decent education." Real revolutionary stuff there. I can see why they wouldn't want me to talk about that with people for longer than 3 hours per unspecified time frame.

ANTI-AMERICAN for supporting Constitutionalists like Dr. Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012!

@WeThePeopleVStheNWO Actually, you and other Ron Paul supporters are mostly just annoying, because you can't seem to figure out that no one really cares, and you tend to co-opt conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with Ron Paul by posting crap like this.

I don't think we need to make gender-based insults of this female police officer. Particularly since she's the ONLY female police officer I've seen, pretty much. It must be very difficult for women to join and stick with the force. There's no need to make assumptions about her sexuality or make references to her appearance. There's plenty to analyze about WHAT she is saying without that shit.

We have recently been informed that we do, indeed, have 24/7 free speech at the Capitol. Someone was lying. We were threatened with citation and arrest over an invented law.

Is that a man or a woman?

Law enforcement officers are not the ones who interpret law so its a complete waste of time to attempt to pick apart the law with them. Let them do their job or go to jail, its pretty simple.

did you notice the freeloaders words she said "we gave you" the pig thinks they gave them the time. wow that's tyrany

[Snoopz0087]

Absolutely ridiculous. The First Amendment says that the freedom of speech and the right of the people to peaceably assemble shall not be abridged. If there is any more obvious an abridgment than a time limit to speak and to meet I don't know what it is. The police were acting illegally and without authority.

@LainieDuro

not as anoying as you will find it when stopped and fondled (frisked) by soldiers in the street where you live, when your kid complains of military searches, questioning etc at school. arbitrary arrests aand disappearances of freinds and acquaintances can also be annoying, I found as I'm sure you will.
