The stream is probably not as overloaded as we might think for youtube.

However, I am not sure about slow connections being able to catch up the stream right now.

I would say "always".

However, it is civil disobedience. You KNOW the consequences of civil disobedience. If I engage in an act of civil disobedience for legitimate grievances I am going in with the understanding I am, most likely, getting arrested, and you know what? Good. It means the police are doing their jobs, even if I disagree with a stupid law so much to break it.

These guys are acting like petulant children. Wanting to disobey the law but not suffer the consequences for it.

Opposition to federal land management policy is a legit grievance in my eye. If these nuts bothered to take a page from past protest movements they'd understand that picking a fight with the feds without a grassroots support mechanism in cities, towns, and states is idiotic and backfires quite hard. Regardless of the tactics used.

Isn't the point of civil disobedience entirely to get arrested and to protest about the absurdity of being arrested for what you did?

"What about common core? They don;t even teach our kids the constitution!"

As a high school american public school student, I've been learning about the constitutions in for half my life in over five schools, and in three states. I have a quiz tomorrow that includes recognizing supreme court cases by resolution and applying specific amendments to them by memory - and have had similar questions on quizzes for a month now.

I think they're the ones who need better education on the constitution...
