Did they have a permit? I was looking on some other sites. People said the protest was legal specifically because they didn't have a permit. Abandon all sanity ye who enter here.
Did they not have a permit?
If they didn't and you're saying it was "legal" specifically because they didn't have one, that makes no sense.

If I want to see the Memorial without people in my way (which is the way everyone wants to go see it) they would prevent that. So who defends my rights?
And their dancing "magically" makes it to where you cannot see the memorial versus standing there?
This line of reasoning it just ridiculous. If you are "distracted" by their dancing, you have another problem that isn't their fault: a severe form of ADD.

Oh yeah, the police.
Yeah, the police there to rescue you from people gently dancing (versus just standing there). Thank GOD man.

Its exactly the same way that you can hold a rally on the sidewalk but can't spill out into the street and block traffic. The law does not say that you can "do whatever the hell you want so long as you call it free speech".
This is a non sequitur, to the max.
You just compared a rally spilling into streets to harmless slow dancing at the Jefferson Memorial.
Is there danger and/or death to be had by slow dancing at the Jefferson memorial?

I've met people who believe its legal to kill repo men for "theft" and that a visit by a tax collector is an act of war by the government so I tend not to rule anything out.

You can't resist an arrest, ever. Like, you can resist someone trying to kill you, but you can't resist an arrest. All you can do is get arrested, then sue for false imprisonment.
I hate to be like this...but...
You're wrong: Miller v. State, Runyan v. State, Plummer v. State, and Housh v. People.
