Dancing Now Illegal
 

Personally I'm glad the kid got f*cked up. The police officers were just trying to do their job and some high and mighty kid who thinks their opinion matters wants to get all uppity with the law? Sometimes I think we have too much freedom, but that's another subject for another time.

Eh, I see where you're coming from, but I still think that the whole thing was unnecessary.

Don't you have to have a permit to "demonstrate" on a public memorial anyway?
Here's the "news story" on the local Fox station, also posted by Adam Kokesh:

All I saw in that video were a bunch of douche bags resisting arrest and interfering with Police operations.

Some Laws are stupid, yes. This may or may not be the case here. There is obviously a reason that any sort of demonstrating is banned in or around national memorials.

Thing is stupid or not, it was the law and these people knew that before hand and went out there with the intent of breaking said law, and that is just as moronic.

All of this was unnecessary when you think about it. I see cops trying to do their job. None of the police jumped in fists flying and only after the demonstrators resisted were they roughed up. They brought it on themselves really and now they want to blat about it.

I'm not saying it's not ok to express yourself or to try and overturn a dumb law, but you really should go about it the proper way. When people see you being a d*** like this it reminds them why a law was made in the first place.

The only problem I have with what I saw in the the video is the cop choke slamming that guy to the ground and then grabbing his throat,the guy "appeared" to be giving up, but he could have just been resisting and trying to act as if he didn't do anything wrong. I dont know its really hard to say. I jst cant believe how stupid they are to deliberately brake the law. Even if it is stupid

But if it's the law that you can't dance in front of a memorial, they were in the wrong. You don't resist arrest when the police are doing their job.

They weren't just dancing, they were gathering to protest using dance. I'm guessing it really has nothing to do with who the monument was but more along the fact that it is a high traffic area and one thing could lead to another.

Would they allow you to flash dance in a museum? No. Why not? There are rules that need to be adhered to.

They also have the freedom to go dance in a public park...where it isn't illegal.

You know what I'm not hearing a whole lot of in this video?
Miranda rights. Also, what they're being arrested for.

If it's causing a disturbance, then then officers should be saying that.

Miranda is for interrogation.

"I'm 20 something and I can do and say whatever I want because this is America! Yeah down with the man!"

What a bunch of hippie d-bags. I wouldn't be surprised if they were from Berkley like all the other wanna be activist douches.

For more proof to that end, watch some of his other videos, though I'd be more apt to say ultra-Libertarian as opposed to Hippie.

So he has a whole show called Adam Vs the Man. That's all I need to know.

Another reason to hate youtube?

As if anymore were needed. The funny thing is all his supporters. I posted my thoughts and they all started jumping on me. Their poor use of English and constant need to toss around insults instead of hard evidence supporting their side of the argument just further proves my point. They're all just a bunch of wanna be anarchist douches. I'd like to see them whine about America to someone from China. You want to talk about controlling governments. Instead of body slamming this guy they'd have shot him.

I'd really like to read that....as I am a gluten for punishment. Once you have to resort to name calling, you've lost the argument.
EDIT: Man, who let the attack dogs out?

I'm pretty sure sex will be illegal within ten years. Who the hell knows anymore.

I'm pretty sure that if they tried that in a public forum, like a national monument, then it would be. It's not like they were dancing at home...they were doing it in a national monument, as a type of protest.
