There is something WRONG with the people that stand behind a VIOLENT REACTION to KISSING and DANCING! It’s a memorial site, not someones funeral.
Handcuffs! Throwing a guy on the ground and CHOKING him!
Are you people insane?[/quote]
They questioned the arbitrary rules of their overlords.
They were practically terrorists.

Didn’t you hear?
Dancing and kissing are a gateway crime to flag burning and public nudity.[/quote]
That isn’t even the half of it. If they don’t stop the dancing and kissing they will soon be learning how to fly planes and crash them into buildings and strapping bombs to their chest.

Much, much worse.
Collapsing buildings can be used to rally the people, but questioning authoritay strikes at the heart of the beast and must be dealt with swiftly and decisively.
And then there is of course the very real danger that naked people might burn a piece of cloth.
And for all that is holy, dont bring a toddler to the Jefferson Memorial, he might cry and they would have to gut him.
Now, if they did that at the Lincoln memorial,sure, but somehow people seem to miss that what they did was much more in tune with his spirit than stomping them.
I wonder who exactly pissed all over Jeffersons memory that day.

The guy who got slammed to the ground was clearly resisting arrest. Good for the cop who finally got cuffs on him. Inb4 “You’re from Nebraska, you right-wing conservative nutjob”.
But you are unable or unwilling to say in what way they differ? There is a law requiring that ‘reverence’ not be broken within this monument. Don’t like the law? Don’t enter the monument. It’s a sacred place. Want to provoke Police officers, break the law, resist arrest and insult the memory of the founding fathers? Do it ANYWHERE other than inside a sacred monument built to honour the memory of Thomas Jefferson. Isn’t that enough freedom for you?

Sorry but my studies of Jefferson over the years would indicate to me that he would abhor the heavy handed treatment that these badge wearing thugs exhibited.

How could anyone know what a revolutionary era libertarian would think about:
a) The current state of American society?
and
b) A gang of idiotic wasters led by a notorious traitor in that society trying to get themselves arrested on camera for dancing in a sacred monument to protest against another idiot who deliberately got herself arrested for dancing in the same monument?
I’ve read everything George Orwell ever wrote but I can’t say for certain whether he’d be a socialist or a conservative if he were alive today. And he was still alive after the last world war.
Apart from his piss poor technique, what’s wrong with throwing a resisting offender to the floor and placing a choke hold on him?

Now there’s an insightful, sophisticated thought for you.
What are most weightlifters?[/quote]
Really most weightlifters? I think most weightlifters where on sport teams or doing it because they enjoyed it. Would hate to meet the person who started lifting weights because he got his ass kicked and went on a power trip because of it, seems like prison would be in his future.
