Respectful?
What better way to RESPECT the man who championed the right to demonstrate by demonstrating (considering dancing is a form of demonstration now, thanks to some nut judge).

Oh god, the horror! Someone might do the jig, on public property no less! When will this madness end? The insanity! What next?
Or bring their boom boxes and do street dancing.
Personally I don't care - - - but what someone does in a quiet respectful way - - the next person won't - - it will only escalate.
Then what? The Doo-wah parade?
When self-entitlement infringes on the rights of others - - it is pure selfishness. It has nothing to do with constitutional rights. Just selfishness.

Dancing and bringing a boom box are different. A boom box can be considered a noise violation or disturbing the peace. But that is a mute argument as all the dancers were neither loud or obnoxious last week. They did nothing that was interfering with anyone enjoying the monument.

I think you have delusional Tunnel Vision.
You're only seeing one immediate thing. Not the later consequences.

I wonder what Jefferson would think about such things...

lets not blame the cops completly for having to adhear to these clearly insane 'laws', thats not to say i didnt feel sick by the whole vid, much like the one recently where a guy was gunned down by cops and another forced at gun piont to surrender his phone.
USA, whats going on guys?
Seems more like just SA these days

Hey Annee
Without law and all, what is your personal feeling about silent dancing?
I am not against the dancing. However - with no restrictions - then what.
If you make restrictions on the type of dancing - - that's a law.
Ask yourself what comes next.
