The problem with such generic reminders is that they could easily affect the flow of conversation by being automatically plastered asymmetrically across any forum or social media network at very low cost. For a small amount of money I could essentially pick at random five amendments out of the bill of rights and concern troll them on social media forums while ignoring the others. There's no alarm bell that goes off when someone does that.
To counter this you could make at least one concrete link between your list of potential concerns to the OP's comment about Occupy.
- Kalium 7y agoYou're right! I could definitely have been more specific. The article cited in the comment I responded to claimed that a person characterized as arrested for political views was arrested for blocking a public right-of-way. The primary reason I did not list this above is because it functions as an open invitation to endlessly debate if the public right-of-way was blocked or not, how relevant or legal related laws are, and so on. That would have been, in my opinion, not a useful, interesting, or substantive discussion. Almost every party involved would have attended having already decided what was true and ready to argue it forever. So I skipped it in favor of a more subtle point - restrictions are both allowed and accepted.
