Conservatives would have obeyed the rules and if we didn’t like the rules we would have taken legitimate action to get the rules changed.
So, you’re saying that peaceful civil disobediance is never acceptable for conservatives? Baloney! Conservatives get arrested all the time for demonstrating against abortion and other important issues when they are just exercising their 1st ammendment rights. Other conservatives come to their defense saying the police over reacted, etc., etc.
The first couple arrested in the video were holding each other in an embrace, barely moving in a slow dance. I agree that they acted like clowns once they were under arrest, but I think the discussion around this episode should be whether the 1st ammendment protects the rights of people barely moving in a slow dance at a national monument.
This protest was inspired by the arrest of several libertarian and conservative youth three years ago who were arrested for dancing at the monument while celebrating Jefferson’s birthday.
