This makes the third thread of this...

And this a problem why? They were given notice of what NOT to do, and they did it anyway.... Trespassing, right? Kudos to the officers, they were respectful, and weren't "badge heavy" in the slightest. The people were looking for trouble.... and found it.

Are Americans this stupid? Dance has many political, cultural, religious, and even military meanings to a variety of cultures around the world. Hell, at he very least, it's disrespectful.... to the honor bestowed upon Jefferson.

This is just another indicative example of self-centered individuals allowing their unbridled pursuit of personal freedom to exceed the essential boundaries of personal responsibility, and social order.

There has been an increasing number of spoiled, egotistical, and arrogant brats being produced by permissive parents who actually feel they should be able to behave in any manner they choose with absolute impunity. And, boy, do they whine with indignation when they receive a reality check such as this.

It's bad enough when private citizens express such a blatant disregard for law and order, but I was recently informed by a veteran LEO that what really worries him, as it should everyone, is that an increasing percentage of these maladjusted individuals are not being filtered out of the hiring process, and are patrolling the streets with little concern for departmental policies regarding public interaction. These anarchistic 'brats' possess an unpredictable propensity to unleash a violent tirade against any private citizen who just happens to cross their path. And we're all witnessing a growing number of these "isolated incidents" involving unnecessary force via the media. And many more of these abusive incidents go unreported.

If dance can have political, cultural, and religious meanings, why would it not be protected speech under the 1st Amendment? The 1st Amendment exists SOLELY to protect speech which is unpopular or unappreciated by the government. (speech with which everyone agrees, or which is 'sanctioned' by the government would need no protection. Right?)

Whether or not Jefferson would agree with the "meaning" expressed by the dancing, I would find it difficult to believe that he would support the government suppressing that 'speech.' Do you think that someone who advocated violence (real or potential) against government oppression would object to someone dancing their displeasure?

The Bill of Rights defends the rights of citizens against government encroachment. The rights surely apply to government (public) property. Otherwise, if you wish to exercise your rights, you would be limited to your own private property, since some other private property owner could decide to not allow you on his property for any reason whatsoever.

Is it your contention that the only place you can exercise political speech is your own private property?
