If I may ...
And where you are wrong and failing to comprehend is that when the assembly was over, and not all participants departed the event in a reasonable, proper, peaceful and agreed upon manner, the local authority, being authorized under statute, directed those remaining to depart. It was a legal order and under statute that refusal to comply made those persons responsible for committing disorderly conduct, you know a crime. Pretty amazing that you don't understand that.
You, fail to comprehend, understand. The US Constitution is
the Supreme Law of the land. There is no "statute" or law, that, Federal, State, Local, governments, can create that may override the Constitution.
“All laws [or statutes] which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” (
Marbury vs.Madison, 1803.)
“Every law consistent with the Constitution will have been made in pursuance of the powers granted by it. Every usurpation or law repugnant to it cannot have been made in pursuance of its powers. The latter will be nugatory and void.” (Thomas Jefferson,
Elliot, p. 4:187-88.)
“Then do you profess to ignore the laws of the land? No; not unless they are unconstitutional, then I would do it all the time. Whenever the Congress of the United States, for instance, pass a law interfering with my religion, or with my religious rights, I will read a small portion of that instrument called the Constitution of the United States, now almost obsolete, which says — ‘Congress shall pass no law interfering with religion or the free exercise thereof;’ and I would say, gentlemen, you may go to Gibraltar with your law, and I will live my religion. When you become violators of the Constitution you have sworn before high heaven to uphold, and perjure yourselves before God, then I will maintain the right, and leave you to take the wrong just as you please.” (John Taylor,
The Complete Difference Between the Saints and the World,
Journal of Discourses, 11: 344 - 345. March 31, 1867.)
The Constitution acknowledges that the people have all power not reserved to itself.
So what, if the "agreed" upon manner changed? It is not the roll of government, or the Sheriff, to say what is, "a reasonable, proper, peaceful and agreed upon manner", (excepting dealing with anarchists, trouble makers, brick throwers, etc.), to begin with. Because it is an interference of a protected and guaranteed right of the people. If a thousand people wanted to peaceably assemble and petition the government, sitting, standing, walking about, hold signs, chant, in front the Prince Frederick Courthouse, on the Courthouse grass, sidewalk, street, for 24 hrs straight beginning on a Tuesday at high noon? There is nothing government can do to stop it. And any law made as such, to try stop such an occurrence is and would be a violation of the Constitution and void on its face.
It's good that all these people in this Nation are protesting, "those that are peaceably assembling" for redress of grievances. It puts those in government on notice. It makes those in government feel uneasy, queasy, scared, hopefully enough to wake up and make the changes to right the ship back inline with the US Constitution. It also brings attention to other people that may not know, or may not have heard, of why such protests are happening. Rallying others to the cause. Educating others. Forming and creating new opinions and understandings of the failures of those in Government. Changing minds and thoughts.
But you, others, and .... hello Bann, are so conditioned by all the propaganda, (past and current), that you are in a comfortable place, distanced from the realities of why this Nation has become what it has. Either you believe in this Nation, accept the whole of US Constitution as written, or you don't. You cannot pick and choose which parts to ignore, or allow to be violated. We have had thousands of usurpations, (laws written), of the Constitution over the decades, because people like you, and others, willfully accept the argument from those in government that such a given law is for the benefit of the people. Chiseling away as it were. And when those, such as me, and many many others, rise and stand up and voice loudly to say, 'What you are proposing is a violation of the US Constitution'. We are then drowned out, criticized, named called, put down, marginalized. So now, over time, you and the rest, believe a "statute" has more authority the the Supreme Law of the Land, because you have conditioned yourself to believe so. What's the saying? Tell a lie long enough and pretty soon people will think it's the truth?
The US Constitution, our freedoms, rights, and liberties, are being attacked every damn day. By outsiders, and traitors from within. By power hungry Bolshevik minded type people. And you do nothing in an attempt to stop it. You excuse away obvious Constitutional violations under some pretense of authorized authority. It is not only just the governments that are wrong. It is you and others that are wrong as well that allow this type of behavior to continue. Giving your endorsement for them to do so.
We get it!
