If you want to protest something, then lead by example. Be the change you want to see. I see nothing productive in any of this.

You show a complete lack of understand of both the idea of public property, and a impartial jury system.
The jury: Is supposed to base their case SOLELY on what they observe in the court room.
Secondly: Public property is public property. It is not private property. Public property means everyone owns it, not just the loudest, dumbest and most dramatic protesters in the country. One person does not decide what should be drawn on the side walk, do you know why? because they are a complete fraction of a fraction of a fraction that pays for that public property. Claiming they have a right to draw on it because it is public property is over looking the many many millions of people that pay on it that may not want it to be drawn on.
They were outside a Federal court house, I'm glad these loud mouth, ignorant hippies were arrested because it would be a sad sight it the officers let them just run around and do whatever the hell they wanted where order is meant to be maintained.
Get with reality and stop your blind war against every portion of the government and maybe you will understand that these officers did the right thing. They were extremely lenient with these people given how incredibly forceful they could have been in detaining them.

For instance: as most anyone can walk up to and upon it, would you consider your porch 'public property' or a sidewalk (assuming you do not have a fence surrounding your property)?

Why is it that almost 90% of the time, the people involved in these protests or the people who support them don't know the first thing about what constitutes free speech and public property?
Please, do tell.
From my understanding, if it is publicly owned property, that means the chalk scratchers own it.

Next, they should go out and spell their messages out with flower stalks and see if they get the same treatment.
