  • This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.

    The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn't give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.

    If you're on private property after closing time to the public, then you're trespassing, regardless of why you're there.

    The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you're going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you're protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.

    • Minor point… at any time a property owner or an agent thereof can ask you to leave and your trespassing at that point.

      As far as civil liberties, the reasons can’t be that you’re a protected class. But that’s about it. Generally, it’s really hard to prove that the rules are being unfairly applied to begin with, and then there are a lot of ways around that. it’s really hard to prove racism for some of those ways (“suspicious”=hoodie, for example.)

    • What university campus has a closing time?
