Apparently sometime this spring a judge decided that dancing at the national memorials was in-line with protesting and against the law.
This weekend some folks put the law to the test. It worked! They were arrested.
I've had two out-rage posts on my FB. STORY with video.
I'm not really feeling it. This ruling is limited to the interior of the memorial. I've not searched it out, but it sounds like dancing is included with protesting, and so, where ever you can't protest you can't dance. I know that protests are pretty allowable in and around the National Mall and what-not.
I'm not sure dancing really needed to be singled out as an activity that is disagreeable, but the ruling seems pretty limited in scope.

I don't know what's dumber, the fact that someone dancing resulted in them getting arrested or the fact that someone danced knowing full well they'd get arrested. I know they were trying to make a statement, problem is the statement they made is that they're fucking morons.

Dancing in protest of the dancing-is-protest ruling aside, should one be able to quietly two-step while paying homage to our countries founders and heroes?
I can only assume some group danced in a way that was disruptive to others in the memorial and now they've gone and ruined it for everyone.

Looks like a jaywalking ruling.

Can't wait til the weekend to hit some protest clubs.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
