Lots of outrageously outraged e-mails flowing in about this, although it’s interesting to me mainly as a First Amendment curio. The footage comes from Jim Moran’s health-care town hall on Tuesday night. The question: Can a congressman bar signs, or certain types of signs, from an event at which he’s speaking? The answer (and the ambiguity) turns, I assume, on whether the event is “public†or “private.†It’s a public school and Moran is very much a public official, but recall that Claire McCaskill evidently got away with imposing a “no signs†policy at her own town hall where the incident with the Rosa Parks poster happened. That makes me think either there’s some sort of public/private wrinkle to these meetings that we’re missing or that banning signs is valid as a “time, place, or manner†restriction on certain forms of speech. But if that’s so, why does the guard here seem to distinguish between signs with images on them and signs that are text-only? Help me, constitutional scholars and law-school grads, you’re my only hope!
The sign itself is actually stupid. And the cutesy little caption about FEMA camps doesn’t inspire confidence either.

saw this several weeks ago and yep those with political power can and will use law enforcement to suppress opposition. The cops themselves have been taught over the last 8 years that anything less than utter humble obedience from a 'civilian' is a sure sign of terroristic intend. Ya think this one id bad ya should see the video of two TSA brutes beating a woman in the Phoenix airport. She later died in the county lockup.

Stock up on food, water, guns and ammo.
You'll need them sooner or later.

This "cop" isn't one at all. He's actually an employee of the Fairfax County School system. This is in my backyard. I'm following it closely....So far the FFX Co PD has responded via email saying that this is a matter for the school system and to lodge a complaint with them. The guy made mention in the email of gettings "hundreds" of inquiries on this".

Nope. Try again, troll.

She was drunk and disorderly in Sky Harbor when she was taken into custody. She was on her way to a $30K/month rehab clinic outside of Tucson, but for whatever reason, nobody could be bothered to accompany her to make sure she showed up sober, or at least didn't get nailed for public intoxication by da po-po?
And while in custody, she ended up wrapping her restraints around her neck and choking herself to death.
GFY, noob.
