    So you be clear, you are supportive of protests inside of Capitol buildings and city government? Or interrupting city business with no consequences? You don’t see why it might be illegal to protest and trespass from inside a government building?

      Yes, I am supportive of peaceful protests in places that can’t be easily ignored, in places that disrupt businesses and make people late for work.

      The question I always find myself asking is, when it’s my turn to protest, if I feel so strongly about something that I literally take to the streets in protest, do I want to be in some out of the way “designated discontent zone” or would I want people to be forced to pay attention to me?

      And if it’s bad enough that people are willingly being arrested to highlight it, why are we still ignoring their problems?

      So yes, it’s morally correct to protest for things you believe in, especially when it makes the people in power upset.

        I never said he wasn’t a great guy or correct or that I’m not supportive.

        Civil disobedience has consequences and this thread seems to not understand that concept.

        Had this been a Republican, the tone of these comments would be quite different.

        Yes it is. He illegally interrupted the city council.

        Do you think that Republicans should have the same privileges?

            So that’s fake? He didn’t immediately approach the council and kneel in the center of the room?

                  I started this conversation because you were drawing similarities to January 6th. You’re either incredibly stupid or a troll.

                    No, you just don’t want consequences for your side and fail to see how that isn’t good for anyone.

                    He broke a minor law and was given a minor sentence.
