2013.07.25 day two of arrests.
A second consecutive day of arrests in Wisconsin's Capitol building after a federal court determined that a group of more than 20 persons can be legally required to obtain a permit to peacefully assemble on public property

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY.

Wisconsin's republican governor changed the law to 20 people to stop dissent. He's funded by the Koch Bros. .....the more you know!

Later some of the police arrested a veteran and while dragging him away, they trampled on his flag.

So you can only assemble if no one assembles?
nudeelf
You can only assemble if you have a group of less then 20 people, or a permit.

"Can be" Oh mother of loopholes do I hope that's not actually how it's worded.

I am not sure how the courts decision is actually written.

thats so unconstitutional. the human rights law suits, they are coming.

Article 1 section 4 of the Wisconsin Constitution: "The right of the people peaceably to assemble, to consult for the common good, (1/2)
Midna07
Or, you know. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

and to petition the government, or any department thereof, shall never be abridged." (2/2)

But.. inside the capitol building is not public property right? So, they can ask you to move outside?
nudeelf
The building is public property...
TheWizardGrimm
Only thing I could find was "The charges were for violating Wisconsin's administrative code for gatherings on state property."

Get 20 people per group and just have the groups close together.
nudeelf
We tested that idea in the past. Our logic was not respected by the courts. We explained that we all showed up alone...
DeaconBlue1
So you're saying that if I disagree with a protest, I can get a few friends and push it over the 20 person limit and make it illegal?
nudeelf
That could work...
DeaconBlue1
I need to find out where the Westboro Baptist Church will ne protesting.

I think they post that on their web site. Just do not touch them. You will be sued.
