The concept of a public building being the "people's building" is quaint and has, at an ethereal level, great meaning, but it doesn't mean that it can be infested at-will by any manner of horde, interferring, most deliberatly, in the conduct of the people's business.

That fact that this difference is not apparent in your post is disturbing. Hopefully, not very many Americans are in favor of this sort of mob-rule.

Would you be in favor of a mob of "right wingers" doing the same thing to the White House? Or the Senate Chambers?
This is the definition of a "mob".

a disorderly or riotous crowd of people.

a crowd bent on or engaged in lawless violence.

These protests have been peaceful.

Liberals are all for anarchy when it suits the agenda, but will then turn around and call for restrictions on salt content and age restrictive laws for tanning spas.

They are a confused bunch.

This string of posts very well illustrated the totalitarian nature of the Right Wing. They insist the demonstrators, peaceful or not, must be controlled because no one has any right to question their paternal overlords. This is beginning to sound like the anti war protests of the late 60’s.

Age restrictive laws for tanning spas is the same as direct suppression of political speech protected under the First Amendment?

You also need to take off your partisan goggles. Someone has painted them black.
