he picks low hanging fruit and tries to get arrested
wouldn't surprise me if you can find his website, complete with banner ads for jefferson cd's and lemonade
I can see your point but unfortunately he wouldn't raise much awareness to the injustices taking place in our country if he did that. He is using his social status to wake people up. Being arrested is something that takes place on a regular basis. That is because his cause is about standing up to laws that are simply ridiculous. No dancing at the Jefferson memorial? No selling lemonade (without a permit)?? Absolutely stupid laws!

Everyone who participated in today's event had the knowledge they MAY be arrested.

Their purpose is to wake people up that our freedoms are being so harshly violated.

Kids have been running lemonade stands for a very long time. I did when I was young.

I've bought for other children who were doing it and nothing ever happened to me.

It's ridiculous to be arrested for selling lemonade. Dumb laws like that (which I haven't actually even seen) need to be repealed.

PERMITS in this country have become ridiculous.
For one thing, they are hard to afford for the poor.
So how do you get out of being UNPOOR if you can't find a job and you can't sell anything?
You can get in trouble for having a yard sale these days without a permit.
I think most of us know that. If they're like me, they just spread the word so we can quietly separate from the system. We have to use it to lose it. We also have to watch out for those who worship the elite and those relatives who are "just following orders" for the paycheck. They're using the system too. Has anyone got a better idea other than violence? That will only result in injury and death all around. It will also get you locked up. Just selling lemonade will get you locked up. So, use The Man and lose The Man.

You are right about the wanting to get arrested part - good on them. Regarding policing so you don't drink a little kids booger, have you eaten in a restaurant in the last ten years? If you answered yes, you have eaten boogers and much worse. To arrest people for selling lemonade is absurd.
