It's ok to protest...

[cstone]

I found this story in the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel:

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepo...156496565.html

At the Clinton rally, a Walker supporter carrying a sign that said, "Support Scott Walker, Not Union Thugs," refused repeated police requests to back away from a rope line where Clinton was shaking hands and posing for pictures. The man was later taken away from the scene and arrested. He was issued a citation for disorderly conduct.

I can say that as a general rule, big wooden poles like the one the guy had his sign on are not allowed on a rope line when a former or current U.S. President is shaking hands. This would be true if it was Jimmy Carter, either George Bush, and Bill Clinton, who was apparently in the crowd the cops were trying to keep him away from.

I say all that on speculation, because it wasn't clear from the video and I have no way of confirming whether this jsonline story is reporting the arrest of the same guy in the video.

Is my post meant to change anyone's opinion? No. I just like to point out that there are always at least two sides to every issue and even first hand participants don't always agree on exactly what happened.

Be safe.

Ahhh, the sheeple. They're the same everywhere they are.

Liberals and big unions...coss dunts, one and all.

Sure as hell wouldn't want that dumb bitch of a teacher in the video schooling my kids. Have pretty much lost all respect for school teachers: liberals, big union, hard to fire, and protected by the Feds. Real hard teaching 4th graders for a whole nine months..not counting weeks of holidays. Real tuff. Sure there are a few good ones but...
.

teachers really have nothing to complain about concerning their wage considering their TOTAL yearly compensaion is very ridiculous. good salary + great benefits, 9 months of work, lots of vacation time during the year, a fully funded retirement package even when everyone else is losing money in their 401k.
