It gets very cold in Minnesota. Many of the Occupiers had tents. The county made up rules banning tents on county property. Well, it is difficult if not impossible to protest in Minnesota weather without tents, therefore tents = free speech.

The chalk thing is a no brainer. It doesn't equal vandalism as it will wash away naturally or with a cup of water. So, I don't understand the county getting bent over the use of chalk. It doesn't matter anyway the day after the Kitty For Sheriff lady was cited a big group of people I dunno how many perhaps a hundred showed up with chalk and chalked the entire grounds of the Government Center.
