WTF are people protesting outside the DNC???

73. free speech yes

But breaking the law while speaking freely does not absolve you of a crime. If people came on your property blocking your doorway chanting I love Trump, the arrestable is not the chant, its that they are in your doorway. The DNC is private property. Members of Congress were inside and under threat. If they needed to get out, they could not. Was this group trespassing, yes. Were they holding people in a building against their will, yes. Were they potentially causing terror, yes. There were plenty of chargeable offenses that have nothing to do with free speech.
