A restricted area without credentials? The only credential he was lacking was that he wasn't a Bush backer. There was no special restricted area in the direct vicicinty of the president. It was only the general protest area. Unless you have some other info not mentioned in this article.

Disobeying the law is generally not the way to go, and that changing the law is, but on the other hand, if nobody gets arrested, nobody sees that arresting people for protesting is wrong and nobody will back changing of the law.

i don't understand what your acronyms mean (TFR, TGR, TTR).
