Hahahahaha oh man this is hilarious that anyone thinks this is going anywhere.

This ain't happening, especially since the kinds of people (neo-confederates, arch-libertarians, and Birchers mostly) who 'protest' on federal land by occupying it also hate taxes.

Hmm, wording was a little Marxist to me. But the general sentiment I agree with. The right to peaceably assemble and freedom of speech should be preserved and not infringed upon. The line might be if such an assembly causes damage. Then it is not peaceable.
