Peter Flaherty, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) broke his silence after he was arrested and escorted out of the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting on Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Flaherty was removed at the shareholders’ meeting and was charged with “criminal trespass” after criticizing Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett for his support for Bill Gates’ organization and his association with convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein.
Bill Gates was also present during the meeting.

During the first minute of his speech, he was approached and interrupted at the microphone.
Cathy Woollums, a Berkshire official who was a designated liaison with proponents for the meeting told Flaherty that he should stay “on topic.”
Flaherty stated into the microphone, “You are not going to censor what I say, ma’am. I’m very sorry. And I appeal to the Chair (occupied by Buffett) that I be allowed to continue sir.
Buffett responded, “You may continue but under the three-minute limitation. Flaherty stated, “Of course,” and resumed speaking until when his mike went dead.
Two representatives from Clark International Security walked up to Flaherty and stood right in front of him. He was warned that he needed to leave or face arrest.
Flaherty replied that he would leave when he finished his statement.
One of the Clark representatives contacted a nearby uniformed Omaha police officer and asked him to detain Flaherty.
He took Flaherty by the arm, told him he was being arrested, and escorted him out of the arena. Omaha police searched Flaherty, placed him in handcuffs, and took him to the Douglas County Corrections Center, where he was formally charged with criminal trespass.

You would think they would be proud of their personal relationship with the pedophile pervert, after all their Friendship began AFTER his conviction.
Is he a shareholder? If so, how is he guilty of trespassing?
He could complain to the SEC.
Of course, they are Swamp also.
How can he be arrested if he was invited to or had a valid reason to be in the meeting? They didn’t like what he said so he was arrested? Shouldn’t “sir please leave the building” come first?
Where has free speech gone? I know, the Marxist/communists have taken over.
Wow.
Sounds like he wasn’t arrested for his comments, but for going over the 3-minute rule.
I guess Buffett takes his “Roberts Rules” very seriously.
Pretty hard to claim that America is not a fascist country after seeing this, eh?
And yet, Buffet continues to be the celebrity hero of the materialistic “prosperity right”.
“One of the Clark representatives contacted a nearby uniformed Omaha police officer and asked him to detain Flaherty.”
That is absolutely amazing. Why would there be a police officer there to start with? Why wouldn’t the officer say, “this is a civil matter, you need to work it out between yourselves”? Arrest somebody for speaking at a shareholders meeting? That’s crazy world.
That video reminds me of the video of Xi’s predecessor being arrested.
“Shouldn’t “sir please leave the building” come first?”
It did:
‘He was warned that he needed to leave or face arrest.
Flaherty replied that he would leave when he finished his statement. ‘
Bump!
It goes to show there are no conservatives except cultural conservatives.
