1. Yep a friend of mine was there and said the cops were ready and waiting.

They started arresting people at the first chant.

3. Geeeeeeeez!!

On the day the Iraqi invasion happened, I helped shut down the 405 Frwy on and off ramps -- near the Whilshire Feddie building in West LA -- and put an "Impeach Bush" bumper sticker on a Federal police car and nothing happened to me. For chanting to count votes, people got arrested???? WTF???

4. Gee, that sure seems fair and just.

5. Serious question, how is this not a First Amendment case? People peacefully assembling?

Was there a TRO on demonstrations? Can would someone with knowledge explain this.

"The protest in the rotunda under the Gold Dome was organized by a local Black Lives Matter group to pressure state officials to ensure all absentee and provisional ballots are tallied. Occasionally, the group of roughly 100 people broke into chants of “count every vote.”

Authorities said the demonstration was broken up after several warnings because of rules that prohibit chanting or yelling while lawmakers are in session. The arrests began around 1:30 p.m. once the House convened in for a special session called by Gov. Nathan Deal."

10. It says there's a noise rule for when lawmakers are in session.

It's pretty simple. IMost cities have that, but I've never seen them enforce it. So I guess that's what that is. So as not to disrupt business?

Whether that will hold water remains to be seen.

11. I couldn't find if there was a TRO, but a there has been a development.

Georgia Legislator, Arrested At Work, Says She Was ‘Singled Out As A Black Female Senator'

One of Williams’ white male colleagues, state Rep. David Dreyer (D-Atlanta), went to the same protest with Williams for the same reason and was not arrested. He stood outside the jail after her arrest and spoke out about Williams’ unfair treatment by Capitol police.

6. That photo. Powerful stuff.

Aside from the fact that one of the officers is Black, this looks every bit as something from the Civil Rights struggle era.

And I suppose in many ways it is.

7. What a hero and a patriot. Democracy is sometimes messy. I wish that was me.
