we were marching on Mar-a-Lago. the police had blocked the public sidewalk with concrete deadmen barricades. I was the first person to the barricades, and I stopped. the second person was a pudgy guy with an antifa flag, who hopped over the barricade, turned around, waved the flag and yelled, "they can't arrest all of us!" and started walking.
it hadn't occurred to me until he said that that he was correct, so I hopped over with the wave that followed him. the police set up a riot shield barricade just before the private property line, which we weren't planning on touching anyway. I believe two people got arrested, a protester and a counter protester, who got into a fist fight.
they couldn't legally stop us from using the public sidewalk, so the threat of arrest for crossing the first set of barricades was empty.
