Why did you cc me in? I wasn't even involved in the quote.

It was to avoid having to include a specific reference to your snide comment trying to smear me with the racist brush. Sorry I was not clearer about it.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you off your meds?

And nope I'm still on my meds. You?

I think that the law is a bit too widely interpretable. It sounds as if organizing to do ANYTHING at the Jefferson Monument, including simply meeting there for a picnic or a group photo, could be interpreted as "demonstrating" if it were expedient to do so...

http://lawyersusaonline.com/wp-files/pdfs-3/oberwetter-v-hilliard.pdf


The definitions of what can constitute a "demonstration" in the precincts of the park areas of the National Capital Region do seem to allow a rather broad interpretation of the term.

QuoteThe Regulations provide that, within the park areas of the
National Capital Region, "[d]emonstrations and special events
may be held only pursuant to a permit . . . ." 36 C.F.R.
§ 7.96(g)(2). "Demonstrations" include:
picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or
religious services and all other like forms of conduct
which involve the communication or expression of views
or grievances
, engaged in by one or more persons, the
                                       6
conduct of which has the effect, intent or propensity to
draw a crowd or onlookers. [The] term does not include
casual park use by visitors or tourists which does not
have an intent or propensity to attract a crowd or
onlookers.
Id.§ 7.96(g)(1)(i).2


Basically you can do anything from a private, individual silent prayer vigil to a full religious service or a political rally - SO LONG AS YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO DO IT.

ETA Just to clarify, that means that you can't do squat if you don't have permission, and if you don't have permission you can and will be assumed to be in breach of the law.

Read the bolded. AND THEN FUCK OFF AND DIE, IDIOT.

Actually I have read the bolded part,[you idiot], since I was the one who linked the extract - which I will point out is from the judgement in the case of the first dance " demonstration " which was held in March in celebration of Jefferson's birthday.

If you had taken the time to consider what I was saying rather than just blow off hot air because you THINK you know where I am coming from [NB where I come from this process is called "Prejudice"] you would possibly have realised that the issue I was trying to raise was that anything from silent prayer to a marching band can be permitted inside the Jefferson Memorial but also that anything can be defined as a "demonstration". Just in case you misinterpreted my take on this:
THIS IS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA, however it is the law.

It isn't the law according to what you quoted. Your reading comprehension is utter fail. Also, you are stupid and your mother smells funny.

When the cop said "We're going to hold you for two days because blah blah blah", that was the clearest admission of "We're going to shake you up for no reason and little rationalization" I ever heard.

And Rog, you really shouldn't Judge people based on how they look :D

Side question for MMIX and Charley-

When should I expect to be at a stage where I have to take 12 pills a day?

When 11 just doesn't do it for you any more /tongueincheek

But then I'm older than Charley and I've been in serious training since I was younger than you 

Mind you, if I need painkillers too then all bets are off :wink:
