And the fact that everyone did as they were told should scare the shite out of you. Not a single person stood up against the tyranny

Taxpayers fund the maintenance of the grounds. If we don’t allow gatherings on public grounds, then how is it public?

This didn't just happen in the USA. It happened in the nation's capital - supposedly the place that stands for freedom in this country.

Freedom is under attack by a bunch of freedom-hating, commie loving, socialist idiots who have no moral compass.

Always amusing seeing this point made by someone who wants to make choices for others.

Fun fact: The only people in Congress pushing for paid parental leave are Republicans. (Mitt, Rubio, Crenshaw, etc.)

The"perps" should have asked the park ranger what specific statute inside the Federal Code is he citing and can he provide documentation to back that up.

Hint: There is no place run by the government open to the public that is designated a First Amendment Free zone.

Their mistake was complying. They should have said “arrest me for doing a perfectly legal activity protected by the constitution and see how fast you get sued for a “1983” violation. I double dog dare you”.

Just like the folks that were threatened with arrest for witnessing the election shenanigans, if you are threatened and you leave, there is no record. If you are in the right and are arrested, there’s a record.


ETA…

42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

This country in a nut shell. I find it sad that so many are afraid we might lose our country. They just don't realize "your" country is already gone.

I really really really hope that some gay/trans or BLM group sets up shop near one of the monuments in DC and someone complains and see if they uphold their policy equally between groups such as BLM or Pro-life groups.

I think the "policy" is designed to keep the concrete circle around the monument clear.
Every time I've been to the mall there were small protests, tee pees, flag vendors, petition tables etc. scattered all over, and every one would probably like to set up where all the walkways intersect at the monument.
Can't see how the zone or whatever they call it is legal constitionally though.

Some areas require permits to assemble and protest.

It wouldn't shock me if something as popular as the Washington monument requires a minimum level of red tape to arrange for such a demonstration.
