FALSE

The dancers were arrested for (what the police and perhaps the law considered to be) demonstrating at the memorial.
If we're going to speak on statist terms, the memorial is still a public place, meaning it's paid for by taxpayer dollars (everyone who buys anything period) and purportedly owned by "us". The fact that my/our money is basically stolen (OK, stolen is put a bit strongly, let's say taken automatically from my paycheck/etc without my consent) to make and maintain it is a bit of a digression but still relevant.
