CJ305 Intro to Crim Justice Ethics W2 Discussion: A Sit-in for a Tea Party?”
A Sit-in for a Tea Party?
You are an ardent tea-party activist who believes the government has encroached unlawfully upon the sovereign rights of the state and the privacy rights of individuals.
You do not believe that your taxes should go to anything other than national security and a few restricted activities, such as the federal highway system.
Any other governmental programs are theft as far as you’re concerned. Your group has organized a sit-in, and you discover that they plan to block the entrance to a publicly funded health clinic to demonstrate their ire at the federalization of health care. You know that the planned activities will constitute trespass and you may get arrested.
Would you participate? Why or why not?
