There has never been a constitutional right to protest on private property.
Since the state owns all the land and only leases it to individuals for their life time, and since the state is owned by the federal govt, there is no such thing as private property in the US. Unless corporations happen to have more rights than citizens. 🤔 Or something like that.
Being leased for their life time is called owning.
Land can be inherited like any other property.
There is private land.
I congratulate you on writing a comment that I genuinely cannot tell whether it is supposed to be a parody or not; have a Poe's law award!
Protest isn't outlawed but it is crippled. They were protesting on Microsoft's private property. And then proceeded to cause damage and refuse to leave when told to. That's pretty much always going to get you arrested.
They could have legally stayed on the sidewalk on the public easement and stayed passive with just using signs and chants etc. but that wouldn't have made the news.
that wouldn't have made the news.
Good on them. Raising awareness is where it's at.
