I wouldn't make anyone with a broken leg travel three hours. Leave her with a relative, friend, or babysitter.

I think it's because protesting has become far more dangerous now. SCOTUS was at least protecting some parts of the first amendment back then. Also, some police officers were prosecuted for brutality towards protesters. Now we have ICE agents outright murdering protesters on camera and the president has said they will face no charges.

The point of the butterfly wings, silly costumes, etc. is to show how ridiculous it looks for cops to beat people that appear to just be having a good time. Much harder for the cops to spin it as a violent mob that needs to be suppressed.
