From the article:
"A handful of dancers got cuffed on Saturday for doing what they say the Founding Fathers would have wanted them to do - expressive dancing in National Parks.

"A court recently ruled that expressive dancing was in a category with picketing, speech making, and marching - a banned activity at national memorials."

Adam Kokesh was present and is one of those arrested. He is host of the show "Adam Vs. The Man" on RT. He posted a video of the dancing and the arrests here:

3. He's gone over the edge into libertarianland

It's sad. He ran for Congress as a repuke. Lost badly in the primary. I followed his campaign and was on his email list and he was running as a gun toting 'freedom' loving republican. He also lost a lot of supporters in the process.

4. Really?

A court recently ruled that expressive dancing was in a category with picketing, speech making, and marching - a banned activity at national memorials."

Really?

5. I'm not sure what I find more offensive

I'm not sure what I find more offensive...
The fact that picketing is banned at a national monument, or that fact that dancing is considered picketing.

Seriously, if somebody wants to picket or protest at a national monument, that's freedom of speech. Nobody will ever make any changes until people HEAR about what needs to change people have the freedom to DISRUPT things.

Freedom might be inconvenient, but it beats the alternative.

11. Maybe I'm alone on this one, but.....

I'm glad the dancing was stopped. Nothing more awful than expressive dance.... unless it's unsuspected expressive dance.

12. Barack Obama's America

Looks a fuck of a lot like George W Bush's. No change and no hope.

17. The Incident you show did happen in 2008 under Bush

This one happened yesterday under Obama's administration. As I said...no change.

[griloco]

18. So Obama should overrule a court ruling?

I mean it's not like he has anything else to do

15. If they were arrested for expressive dancing they should get out of this with no problem.

Because what they were doing wasn't expressive dancing, they were just looking like idiots.

The only thing they accomplished was to ruin some peoples sightseeing.

16. Oh, I hate this kind of crap.
