Thanks. Perhaps Kokesh will run again for Congress on the KGB ticket.

they were trying to keep the memorials solemn, and dancing was against the rules.

Kokesh and CODE PINK founder Medea Benjamin went there to intentionally violtate those rules, and after being warned politely, they openly began dancing and kissing in public in direct objection to the cops, to instigate a fight

kokesh was handcuffed, sat down, and when he tried to get up and walk away after his arrest, he was slammed, unfortunately he wasn’t slammed hard enough

[RaceBannon]

You dont have the constitutional right to disobey the police after being warned about a rightful law

[RaceBannon]

what a lie

the first couple went there in full knowlege they would be disobeying the police

This was a PLANNED act

I posted the full video links on this 2 days ago, kokesh PLANNED to do this, this was NOT a spontaneous event, it was a deliberate act of breaking the law by the very people who gave $400,000 dollars to the Iraqi Mujahadeen to kill Americans

How funny, I was just looking for, and found, this quote. And it seems like something you could stand to ponder.

Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains on their own appetites. Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there is without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

[RaceBannon]

who said that???

Edmund Burke

“they were trying to keep the memorials solemn, and dancing was against the rules.”

In which case the little bastard should have been summarily tossed out. Arrested? I don’t think so.

[RaceBannon]

nonsense. He DELIBERATELY disobeyed a lawful order. He shoud have been maced when he refused to sit down, too.

Thanks kristinn.

I knew it was coming!!! Attack the messenger if you can't refute the message!
How dare teh government regulate behaviour at national parks. (Sarcasm a mile wide)
Evidently you missed teh spate of wildings by certain groups over the weekend. As the population of this country loses the ability to regulate itself, we become more dependent on the government to play nanny. Your ire should be at mishcevious malcontents like Koksesh for making such over-reach necessary.

I wonder if people who think this was a violation of the 1st Amendment would allow people to protest ANYWHERE, in any manner, at any time?

Note they conveniently ignore "peacably to assemble."

In other words, there are qualifiers in the Bill of Rights.

Just because people are allowed to have guns does not mean they can use them anyway, anywhere. THAT is the analogy.
