So you think a Mayor has the right to throw anyone out of a public place even if he or she isn’t breaking the law? Is Rudy above the law?
I support him 100%.
It was a city sponsored event.
The city invites who they want.
Arafat showed up uninvited.
Rudy, knowing a terrorist when he saw one, showed him the door and saved the city the expense of security.
That's not above the law.
It is an insult to Arafat, and I understand insulting terrorists offends some people. Doesn't offend me at all.
BTW, if you showed up uninvited at an event I was sponsoring, you'd be thrown out on your butt, and arrested if you didn't comply.
And I'm sure you'd complain I was "above the law".
Social events, they should be open to everybody.
