1st Amendment what?

Okay, so I looked it up, just to make sure I wasn't delusional. Turns out, I'm not. The first amendment states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." 

THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE!
 RIGHT.
 PEOPLE.
PEACEABLY.
 ASSEMBLE.
 It's the FIRST FUCKING AMENDMENT! I see absolutely NOTHING in there about "the right of the people to peaceably Assemble" between the hours of 9am and 5pm a long as it's convenient, innocuous, and doesn't hinder business. WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
The "Occupy" movement (to which, I will henceforth refer as "The Occupation") is a growing movement of people who are completely, entirely, justifiably fed up with a grossly imbalanced system. For what it's worth, I'd recommend occupying despite the plea by City Hall to move. What pleas of ours have they listened to? This whole idea of "Yes, you can protest, just keep it down." defeats the entire purpose. As for the naysayers, and those people griping about our presence (and I say "our" despite the fact that I am not camping out, because I AM the 99%) I'd like to see them survive without mommy or daddy's help. I worked my ass off to go to college, get an education, and I've spent my entire life struggling to get ahead because of an imbalanced and bias political system. I am NOT lazy, I am NOT "whining," I am NOT just sitting around crying that I want a handout, I AM tired of the 1% making their profits off MY blood sweat and tears, whilst keeping their own hands pristine, and I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!
I passed by City Hall here in Philly two days ago to meet up with my wife after work, and you know what I saw? Hundreds of former occupiers... HUNDREDS, walking shoulder to shoulder down broad st and around City Hall. It was gorgeous. Counter-intuitive to this peaceable assembly, there were DOZENS of cops, in groups of three or four, every. five. feet. Aren't there drug dealers, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drunk and disorderlies, frat boys on meth, hobos on heroin, unsupervised juveniles, impoverished people carrying concealed weapons, and disturbers of the peace to arrest? I mean, this IS Philly, right?
Yesterday, when I passed below William Penn, I noticed there isn't even a way for regular commuting pedestrians to get through the concourse. They rented a god damned fence to keep people out. Allegedly, there's "imminent construction" about to take place,  but I'll tell you what: This imminent construction is no more convenient than The Occupation.

Personally, I'm glad this generation is finally starting to wake the fuck up and realize they've let the political process go to shit for far too long. Hopefully, it's not too late to fix it.
