The leaders of Democracy Spring, a coalition of far-left groups plotting a mass civil disobedience movement to begin next month, told Breitbart News they have already confirmed 2,912 protesters who pledged specifically to risk arrest.

Those protesters signed an option on the coalition’s website explicitly stating, “I pledge to be one among thousands who will risk arrest to save democracy in DC between April 11 – 16.”

Remind me to avoid DC that week. I bet the Federal bureaucrats are hoping they show up as they might get days off.

They’re going to ‘save democracy” by shutting down the operations of the Republic?

Either you arrest them and give them the attention they so desperately crave, or you let them run rampant.

I pledge to be one among thousands

What was that dust-up about pledges at Trump rallies these same great thinkers whined about?

Just move government functions to empty office spaces in Detroit. Most will quit. Less government.

Protests are fine. 1st Amendment.

What I hate is the hypocrisy. When tea party sympathizers were protesting Nancy Pelosi and Janet Napolitano characterized them as “potential terrorists” .... just for exercising 1st Amendment rights.

Bet that won’t happen to these folks.

No, they have a right to protest.
We all do.
We should uphold that for everyone.

My solution to harassment demonstrations is to arrest the demonstrators, fine them a reasonable amount (maybe $500 or $1,000), and donate the fines to the target of the protest.

plus what’s the big ###ing deal getting arrested for protesting in America?

do it in NK, China or even Russia still. That’s a little more impressive.
