They had the support of the public. Even the kids were ignoring the cops who told them not to buy because it was illegal.

The best was the busload of Spanish tourists. The cop was effective in intimidating them out of buying, but they didn't like it and seemed shocked that this was the reality of America.

Selling lemonade is not a crime, but selling it on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol is, which is why, police say, three people were arrested Saturday for running a lemonade stand on Capitol grounds.

U.S. Capitol Police did not immediately confirm the names of the three people arrested, but the Facebook page linked to "Lemonade Freedom Day" says they were Meg McLain, Will Duffield and Katherine Dill.

McLain, an activist from Keene, N.H.,  was involved in arrests tied to dancing at the Jefferson Memorial earlier this year. She also created a stir last year when she was booted from the Fort Lauderdale International Airport after protesting the use of body scanners employed by the Transportation Security Administration.

McLain could not be reached for comment, though her UStream page contained video of the arrests.

One video taped on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol shows a police officer on a bicycle pulling up to the stand to inform buyers that the stand is illegal. After several minutes of calm debate, another officer notifies the group that they can't be selling items on federal property. A separate video shows a police officer handcuffing a woman while a person off-camera yells, "Unchain these women."

In the videos, the activists say they have a right to sell lemonade free of police intrusion because "we own this property, our taxes pay for this property, and your salary."

"Selling lemonade -- that's not a charge," U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider told Fox News in an email. "Three people were arrested by USCP for failure to obey a police officer, unlawful conduct, vending without a permit."

"Lemonade Freedom Day" earned support from thousands of people across the country, including dozens who wrote in on the Facebook page that they created stands for their kids to sell lemonade. The effort to "liberate lemons" was intended as a challenge to a recent string of police actions that have shut down the hallmark childhood entrepreneurism.

very cool that they opened up a lemonade stand in the face of the evil empire
typical that the thugs would terrorize them

What would have happened if they tried it on the white house lawn?
I am glad that Smeg didn't crack under the pressure and rat out dick and jane down the street selling iced tea spiked with lemonade.

From megans article:

"After several hours of friendly, yet inappropriate questioning, I finally asked, "Where is your line in the sand?  At what point do you say, 'No. That goes too far, and I'm not willing to do that to peaceful people'?  Because if you don't know where that line is, you're gonna blindly cross it one day, and regret it for the rest of your life."  It was at that point he fell silent, then left without saying another word."

Well said!

FOX added video from one of their goofy morning shows.

Vapid, vacuous, simpletons...
The standard two guys bookending the blonde.

I guess I'm glad Fox covered the story, but what a bunch of idiots.

"They wouldn't have been arrested on private property." hahaha
E coli from muffins?

Meg is interviewed... well she didn't get much time to tell her story. Although she was able to tell the audience she was chained and taunted for 5 hours. She looks good and sounded very reasonable. Blonde Fox Broad is out of touch.

The Blonde couldn't shut them down any faster than when the guy with Meg started mentioning Jury Nullification.
