Occupy Chicago arrests

Occupy Chicago overnight arrests

130 persons were arrested on Saturday night in Chicago after they refused to leave Grant Park after it closed.  This same scenario happened the previous Saturday evening.

In the Chicago Red Eye today, one of the protestors was quoted..."This is an attack on the core of what it means to be an American Citizen.  We condemn gross violation of the human rights of those arrested."

REALLY??!!??

Now, I'm not going to delve into my opinions of the Occupy Everywhere protests.  But seriously, come on people! 
Anyone that lives in Chicago knows that ALL PUBLIC PARKS CLOSE AT 11PM.  Also, the protestors were warned by police twice each evening prior to making the arrests.  They were given plenty of notice, and knew exactly what was coming.
Just because you are trying to protest a cause you believe in doesn't mean that you can get away with breaking the law!  How the hell is this a gross violation of your rights? 

No matter where you are a citizen, you are expected to follow the laws set forth by that community.  If you choose to break the law, you face the consequences.
I can't believe the idiocy of the person quoted in the paper.  Just because you don't get your way, it is a violation of your rights...GEEZ, grow up you spoiled brat!

What are your thoughts?
