Well, if that was the case, the police were not very smart, then, were they?

By ther way, after they hustled him out of the auditorium the police told him that he was going to be charged with “incitement to riot.”

Now, the new question is, would that declaration be classed a “false arrest?”

Are you aware that even pointing that out counts as a kind of criticism? The black vans have been dispatched, for freedom!

Oh that’s right. Because cookie’s a bigoted right-wing authoritarian, it’s right to free speech means the right not to be criticized.

There was nothing to cookie’s comments except for name-calling.

Nothing to refute, in any case.

He rambled on and on, would not relinquish the mic.

He didn’t want Kerry to answer, he wanted a soapbox.

He asked 3 questions, wouldn’t let Kerry answer, and kept right on talking.

Then he resisted the police (always stupid) and made several attempts to break free of them and walk towards the stage where a US Senator and former US Presidential Candidate was speaking.

He didn’t just try to get free of the Police - he did this moving towards the stage, on 3 occasions. He could have broken free and moved in many directions, but he moved towards the stage.

When I see an erratic, gesticulating wildly man who is repeatedly making attempts to break free of police restraint and make his way towards a politician, during a US presidential campaign, I don’t think “Harmless Wacko”.

I think Squeaky Fromme and Assassination Attempt.

Yes, even if the politician isn’t in the campaign.

Maybe Kerry would be a VP pick?

And what were all those cameras from different angles doing there? Obviously this guy was a troublemaker and intended to provoke the police into something on camera.

But we’re not, so you don’t.

we have a history with cookie.

then again, maybe you’re a right wing fascist as well.

Here’s a use for a taser: every time you consider posting to a blog other than Michelle Malkin’s, pull it out and shoot it at your groin. Conditioning therapy. It works.
