61 year old woman ticketed and removed from McCain event Carol Kreck, who works as a librarian in Denver, held a homemade sign reading "McCain = Bush." On orders from McCain's security detail, police cited her for trespassing and escorted her to the sidewalk. She was told if she returned she would be arrested. Wait, so. A 61 year old woman is being arrested for holding a sign up saying McCain=Bush. Free-Speech Zone for Bush Events When Bush came to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, 'The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us.' The local police, at the Secret Service's behest, set up a 'designated free-speech zone' on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush's speech. The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, though folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president's path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign. Seems like a pretty accurate sign to me... |

never ceases to amaze me that people put up with this... every supposed "patriotic american" who was at that event and loves America so much that they want to blow up the world and hopefully make the rest of the world part of "america"... ...should be ashamed they allowed the #1 thing that defines America be killed right in front of them. The attendees of the McCain event should have stopped the police from escorting her out. Hardly anyone understands what Liberty actually is anymore. Hint, it's not just a buzz word we use to sell an illegal war. It's a principle which we as informed people will not let die. |
