what about your potential to cause harm, should you be able to drive 90mph through school zones as school is letting out for the day? should you be allowed to disrupt the enjoyment of the day for others, I see that as doing harm, if my kids and myself cannot enjoy our outting to the jefferson memorial because some self centered egotistical attention whoring twat decides he wants put on a show for the cameras then he's disrupted my time with my family and in fact done harm especially when we're all ejected so the cops can make their arrests and not have to worry about the potentially dangerous crowd as can be seen by the guy in the brown shirt doing all he can to obstruct the cop in making an arrest

That's the first amendment... they have the right to peaceably assemble, (which is what they were doing.)
They also have the right to freedom of speech, which is defined by the ICCPR as:
The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as "the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression."
So when you do get right down to it, they had the right to do what they were doing according to the freedom of assembly and freedom of speech (AKA freedom of expression)

I don't think that "not being annoyed" is any sort of right at all.
So my band can come play a show at your neighbors house outside until 4am? Becuase noise ordinances are put into place for the same reason as anti-protest laws: if you want to be annoying, sign up for a permit so people can make themselves aware of your pending annoyance and leave if they so choose.
No permit = no protest = no dancing = no legal ignoring cops = arrest = this thread is dumb = pris is smart
Personally, I've never had such shitty neighbors that I wouldn't have been able to sort that out with them directly. And I've never not quieted down when asked. I don't think that I can send people with guns over on my behalf to quiet the neighbors down, though. And if they're making a bunch of noise, them having a permit doesn't mean it annoys me less anyway.

the problem is that the court ruling passed down a short time before states that they cannot hold their demonstration INSIDE the building, outside would have been fine and it wouldnt have been an issue but they wanted to protest INSIDE, their freedom of speech and right to assemble isnt being restricted, only the place they were wishing to do so, if that were not protected then they could hold their demonstration in your living room without your permission
also... permits for protests were not secured, yet another law they'd broken

Alright. I just wanted to make sure how deep an impasse we were at on this. On "the way things ought to be" we won't see eye to eye. On "the way things are" I very much agree with an awful lot of what you've said. I also don't think you've come out and said this, but one of your posts implied that the first might not apply here if this were a D, C local bylaw or something. So the first amendment thing might go out the window if the law were not enacted by Congress.
If I might go into full blown fantasy mode, there really shouldn't be a government built and run monument to Jefferson to begin with. If there was so much demand for such a thing, somebody ought to have built one and taken donations/charged admission. Then it would just be a property owner ejecting rowdy patrons, rather than citizens at a publicly owned attraction.

As of December 2010, the Covenant had 72 signatories and 167 parties.[1] The ICCPR is part of the International Bill of Human Rights, along with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Err FYI that isnt public property, its federal property.
Also, a judge in DC ruled the dancers would need protest permits to gather in a large group in public in the capitol, as every other large group has been required to do in DC for over 40 years. This isnt new in DC, when they added the dance crowds those idiots went there to protest and got what they deserved. So, do any of the 50 states in America have this law? Not sure but I doubt it. It is a security issue for the capitol. Its to prevent 200 people from just showing up to one place when ever they want. With no crowd control, no security or anything. It isnt just about those dancers. Those cops are doing just as much to protect the peoples rights who are there that dont want to have to deal with that shit. If you dont like it stay the hell out of DC. I doubt anyone on this thread even lives in DC, maybe close but VA and MD dont have laws like this. Its a common sense issue more than constitutional rights issue. They have just as much a right to form a large crowd and dance where ever they want as those sick fuckers from westboro have to show up at veterans funerals to protest. They know what they are doing and are willing to suffer the consequences. I mean if I were at a vets funeral and saw that crap, I would assault someone, go to jail, and not bitch about it, just like the person assulted shouldn't bitch about it because it was a potential risk of being a DB.

Idk any other way to put it. It may not be the proof you're after but I've yet to hear any proof from you that you do indeed own land. saying that a deed is proof is just as ludacris as saying that one will go to Hell bc the bible says so. Also, are you saying I truly don't have the right to dance or protest?

think again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Covenant_on_Civil_and_Political_Rights#United_States
Quote:
The United States Senate ratified the ICCPR in 1992, with five reservations, five understandings, and four declarations.[64] Some have noted that with so many reservations, its implementation has little domestic effect.[72] Included in the Senate's ratification was the declaration that "the provisions of Article 1 through 27 of the Covenant are not self-executing",[73] and in a Senate Executive Report stated that the declaration was meant to "clarify that the Covenant will not create a private cause of action in U.S. Courts."[74] [edit] Effect on domestic law
Where a treaty or covenant is not self-executing, and where Congress has not acted to implement the agreement with legislation], no private right of action within the U.S. judicial system is created by ratification. Sei Fujii v. State 38 Cal.2d 718, 242 P.2d 617 (1952); also see Buell v. Mitchell 274 F.3d 337 (6th Cir., 2001) (discussing ICCPR's relationship to death penalty cases, citing to other ICCPR cases). Thus while the ICCPR is ostensibly binding upon the United States as a matter of international law, it does not form part of the domestic law of the nation.

I didnt make som ludicrous claim and as I'd already stated, I have a deed showing that I do in fact own land, it's recognized by county, city, state and federal government agencies as well as the court systems, insurance carriers, etc...
now sine you made the ludicrous claim that there is no land ownership the burden of proof falls on you to back the claim that there is no land ownership

I'm presenting a long-debated philosophical notion, not an inherent truth; just as you are doing. Your deed to land is recognized by the same government that claims the right to plow through it and build a road through your living room if they so choose. You bought it, and you can sell it, but what you cannot do is pick it up and take it anywhere else with you. That, at least to me, defines ownership. Im not the only one who has made these "ludacris claims," don't forget about the whole race of people that Andrew Jackson fucked over. They beleived the exact same ludacris claims. Just because it's not a white european idea doesnt mean it's not worth a damn. Quote:

What you got against me guy? Im no more insane than anyone else here and neither are my claims. I have the right to speak my mind on the issue. i tried that once already remember? it was the post that you locked.

I have nothing against you, I havent the slightest clue as to who you are and I've not stopped you from speaking your mind here, I've simply disputed some of what you've said, do you not believe I also have the right to speak my mind or is freedom of speech only reserved for those that agree with you?
anything of yours that I've locked or deleted were because of a rules violation, I dont know what thread or post you're referring to off the top of my head and nothing I can see in the posts you;ve made are showing as me having locked it

Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, or it's just a dumb question, if so I'm sorry: Do you know who can be said to hold control over federal property? Or how decisions on its use get made? This distinction might be more interesting than I thought.

It's a philosophical idea, not a hypothesis. I've given you a logical reason for why i think so (you cant pick up land and take it with you.) You're climing land ownership bc the folks on capitol hill told you you own it. That may be real ownership to you or to anyone else, and it works well for the way we have set up out civilization, but then again I think Rome started out that way too. I personally think i should be able to roam nomadically and live wherever i please following the resources around the land. I cant do that though, because i gotta pay some guy first and i don't think that's justified at all.
