You saw this yourself in a video, or you read it in the media?

I don't know what the situation was if they're permit expired or what. Looks to me like they asked em to leave and they wouldn't. Screaming we are veterans doesn't give you some special pass to break the law does it? We'll be seeing more of this as the protestors are infiltrated by the professional anarchists. Screaming we are veterans doesn't mean they are either.

The First Amendment allows people to occupy a public space to demonstrate and express grievances against their government (read the text). Being told to disperse for no reason is illegal.

So why do some have to get permits and others do not?
