The schools & police trampling on student rights don't understand the true meaning of "trespassing" - LGBTQ Nation
This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.
The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn't give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.
If you're on private property after closing time to the public, then you're trespassing, regardless of why you're there.
The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you're going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you're protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.
Minor point… at any time a property owner or an agent thereof can ask you to leave and your trespassing at that point.
As far as civil liberties, the reasons can’t be that you’re a protected class. But that’s about it. Generally, it’s really hard to prove that the rules are being unfairly applied to begin with, and then there are a lot of ways around that. it’s really hard to prove racism for some of those ways (“suspicious”=hoodie, for example.)
What university campus has a closing time?
Fuck Israel and all but this is such a stupid take on property rights.
Where in the first amendment does it say you have a right to a tent encampment, I must have missed that part.
You’re right, I forgot that the constitution is the basis of all moral reasoning and we can’t make any arguments that don’t stem from it.
Nope I didn't say anything about moral reasoning, you're the one talking about that for whatever reason. I'm talking about the law, since the article is claiming the students have a first amendment right to their encampment.
Sorry but its trespass to be there after hours its trespass to assume control of a public space its public for a reason its there for everyone if your going to protest do it correctly when the place is open when it comes to closing time pack up and go to your hotel room then show up during the day don't try to take control of any space and respect others and there religious beliefs
Just wondering, when people were driving through BLM protesters, were you like "stay out of the street and you won't get run over"?
Trespassing outside of people’s immediate dwelling spaces shouldn’t be illegal at all. It’s just a tool for the wealthy to control the rest of us and where we can exist on our common planet.
