The Metropolitan Airports Commission said it worked in advance with event organizers and provided a permit that determined a maximum number of protesters who could attend. The number of people in attendance "went beyond the agreed-upon terms," MAC said, and police made several arrests

So, it's illegal to protest for something that's too popular??

Using our rights is a crime according to the regime.

I think the occupant numbers are about fire safety inside the building. However, given there are metaphorical fires all over the country, I think this population is warranted :)

I can kinda see that, but at the same time I have to disagree with their "solution". Since it doesn't solve anything.

But I get your point, I think

The solution of arresting people? That is pretty tacky given the circumstances.
