Isn't that the very problem of this thread? A case of punks purposefully breaking the law was in this thread suddenly turned into a grand civil rights case. I'm not sure those punks even knew what they set out to do, because the moment they decided to disobey the order, they weren't anymore demonstrating against the dance prohibition, they were simply fighting against the law enforcement thereafter and creating a crime scene, which prevented other tourists from visiting the place. It really is poor manners to ruin other people's trip just so that you can make a point of something important only to you. Which is probably also the reason why dancing is counted as demonstration around the area: So that most people (who don't want to dance) can visit the place in peace. Not dancing bothers nobody, dancing will bother some. It has got nothing to do with bloody race segregation from the last century...
