This past weekend, about 1000+ people peacefully participated in a ‘Silent Rave’ in New York City’s Union Square.
Unfortunately, if you ‘Silent Rave’ in DC there’s a good chance your ass would get thrown in jail. That’s a lesson a bunch of ‘libertarians’ just learned.
A group of about 20 people decided to get their ‘Silent Rave’ on at the Jefferson Memorial (in honor of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday) on Saturday night. Unfortunately for them, their party was shut down immediately by National Park Rangers.
The ‘incident’ led to the arrest of one of the participants.
The Jefferson Memorial is open 24 hours to the public, so the ‘ravers’ were not trespassing.
You’d think that the people who helped run the city that symbolizes ‘democracy’ would be a little more tolerant! Sheesh!
Can’t they groove alone to their headphones in peace????
Oh, and the irony is….
All of this happened at the Jefferson Memorial, in observance of Jefferson’s birthday who was the most hardcore and anti-authoritarian of the Founding Fathers.
