Rallies over the Israel-Hamas war have continued to be held across the country and in world capitals.

AI tldr;

Protesters gathered at a congressional building in Washington to demand a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The demonstration resulted in numerous arrests and occupied a congressional building, which is generally not permitted. Three were charged with assault on a police officer.

    I meant outside the building. No where did I suggest people protest in hiding. Protesting is a right, but maybe not protesting inside the Capital. At least some of the Jan 6th insurrection “protesters” were peaceful, and they were also rightfully arrested and charged.

      Gotcha, I thought you meant the “Capital” as in the capital city Washington DC since you spelled it with an A, not “Capitol” with an O which would refer to the building.
