Arrested for saying no!

"When Vice President Dick Cheney visited Eugene, Oregon on Sept. 17, a 54-Year old woman named Perry Patterson was charged with criminal trespass for blurting the word "No" when Cheney said that George W. Bush has made the world safer. "

And people complain about parallels with Germany in the 30s?

Scary, isn't it.

The chargers were dropped quickly, but the mall then fired the security guard who filed the paperwork.

But not the manager who made the decision? The whole situation's a mess, and the guy at the bottom carries the can. Bet the rest of the security crew there are really motivated!

That sucks. I feel sorry for that guard. I'm glad they dropped the charges. They were stupid anyway.
Thanks for introducing me to www.commondreams.org. There's some really interesting stuff there.
