I didn't say it was, dimwit. However, obstructing a public thoroughfare (defined as a public street, highway or sidewalk) is a misdemeanor. Anybody who knows anything about protesting in DC (this excludes you obviously) knows full well that chaining themselves to the White House fence and blocking the sidewalk there will get them arrested. Most who do so do so with the express purpose of being arrested. It has always been thus.
Lafayette Square is literally directly across the street, no more than 100' from where they chained themselves to the White House fence. They could have protested there from now to eternity if they had chosen to.
