(5,812 posts)On the day the Iraqi invasion happened, I helped shut down the 405 Frwy on and off ramps -- near the Whilshire Feddie building in West LA -- and put an "Impeach Bush" bumper sticker on a Federal police car and nothing happened to me. For chanting to count votes, people got arrested???? WTF???

"The protest in the rotunda under the Gold Dome was organized by a local Black Lives Matter group to pressure state officials to ensure all absentee and provisional ballots are tallied. Occasionally, the group of roughly 100 people broke into chants of count every vote.
Authorities said the demonstration was broken up after several warnings because of rules that prohibit chanting or yelling while lawmakers are in session. The arrests began around 1:30 p.m. once the House convened in for a special session called by Gov. Nathan Deal."

Whether that will hold water remains to be seen.

And I suppose in many ways it is.
