Police arrested more than two dozen people after activists protesting cuts to Medicaid interrupted the House Energy and Commerce Committee as it began consideration of legislation to change the program.
Minutes into the markup, activists — including several in wheelchairs — chanted “no cuts to Medicaid,” persisting despite a warning from Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) that those making outbursts could be arrested.
Capitol Police escorted the demonstrators out, telling The Hill about half an hour later that 25 people were arrested and “more arrests are being made.”
“Around 2 p.m., 25 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating in the Rayburn House Office Building. They were arrested for 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding. It is against the law to protest inside the Congressional Buildings,” Capitol Police told The Hill.
Ranking member Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) had asked Capitol Police not to arrest the protestors because many of them are disabled and in wheelchairs.

Too bad the precedent has been set.

Purely organic protestors, definitely not organized and paid by lobbyists.

According to Dems' own rules, this amounts to an insurrection

Were these folks retarded in the wheel chairs?
Were they somehow cognitively unable to understand what they were doing?
(well, that pretty much covers all dems...but,)
Wheel chair people can commit crimes just like everyone else. They should make better decisions. Arrest them, lock em up, and make wait 2 years for their arraignment.
Turnabout is fair play.

Surprised the capitol police could take a break from crying to arrest someone.

Gotta hire the former CBS exec/producer to make a grand spectacle of the public hearings while they are held in solitary for years while they figure out what to do with them.

They should have kept their disabled asses at home and stop watching MSNBC.

Felony charges and put them away for 15 years.
