1) Why did you conceed the presidential elections with 5 million votes uncounted for?

2) Why don’t you support impeaching President Bush?

3) Isn’t it true you were a part of the same secret society as George Bush?

He’s establishing the basis for a conspiracy theory and, not that I’m a conspirist, but these all sound like an example of redressing the government of grievances.

In the long run, it was a public forum on private property — even though he broke the forum rules by being loud and going over his time limit, that makes him an asshole, not a criminal. The charges initially stated by the police officer on the video were ‘Inciting a Riot’ leading me to believe that the police were reacting first and thinking later.

Granted, I’m not a big Kerry Supporter or Democrat (as this guy seemed to be); however, I feel what he did is a valid form of protest. Having become somewhat of a Second Amendment activist myself recently, I’m willing to afford someone the support of their constitutionally protected rights (as assninely executed as they were) as I would hope someone would offer me when I open carry my sidearm.

There was nothing resembling civil discourse in his feeble attempt for 15 Minutes Of Fame. This was not a reasonable man asking reasonable questions. This was a punk that wanted public attention – and he got it.

It’s obtuse to suggest that free speech means a person can take over whatever gathering they want to make a political speech. Forums have hosts and the hosts set the rules. When you don’t follow the rules, you are trespassing and can be removed. People get removed from forums all the time for going off an a diatribe.

There are many students present at the event, people “that have seen the whole scene”, that are starting to make their voices heard, and most are saying this guy was acting like a jerk before he even reached the mic.

Go stand on a street corner, or a park, or start a blog, vlog, podcast, whatever – say anything you want. But, when you participate in a public forum there are always rules that can get you removed if you don’t abide by them. If that weren’t the case, the aggressive would control all forums and civil and polite citizens would be pushed out of public discussion – anarchy – THAT would be a real infringement on freedom of speech.

By the way, we don’t live in a “democracy”, otherwise known as “mob rule”, and nobody with any sense would really want one. We live in a constitutional republic, different from a democracy, joker.
