Cuban dissident arrested for waving U.S. flag as cruise ship entered Havana harbor

A Cuban dissident was arrested on Monday for waving the American flag near the Havana pier where the Carnival cruise ship Adonia docked on Monday.

The man, Daniel Llorente, was holding the flag across his back at the waterfront as the ship approached. He was detained after making a speech about liberty on the communist island. It’s unclear what charges were leveled against him.

A video of the event shows a crowd of tourists and locals gathering around Llorente, and him getting into a verbal exchange with an unnamed woman. The arrest was first reported by Noticias Martí, a Miami-based news organization focused on Cuba.

They're trying to imitate us, but it's hard to get clear on the concept of this freedom thing.

The writer doesn't seem to understand that in communist countries the charges come after the verdict.

If Clinton was a Republican that picture would define his presidency (in the MSM).

I don’t know. If you think about it for a minute, the title “might” fit.

“A Cuban dissident was arrested on Monday for waving the American flag near the Havana pier where the Carnival cruise ship Adonia docked on Monday.”.......

Perhaps we need to do that every time an illegal waves the Mexican flag here in the U.S. Give them a one way ticket OUT.
