Bring in the SWAT team. Come on huh,they were protesting,big deal. I thought we were allowed to protest. I guess not !!!
The cops view the protesters as usefull idiots. The cops love it- they get to cash in on overtime when they arrest these people.
Most of the time they just hold them for a few hours and write them summonses for some nonsense violations.
If that’s the case I’d say the cops are bigger idiots then the protesters.At any rate the cops apparently have figured out another way of hosing the taxpayers !!!
They use strong glue also. It’s a pain to remove them.
They posted their liberal crap on either public or private property. If they want to put up their communist crap without risk, they can post it on signs in their own yards.
Fry them!

The arrested were Tina Richards, CEO of Grassroots America and mother of Iraq War Veteran Cloy Richards; Adam Kokesh, the Co-Chair Elect of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and member of Veterans for Peace; and Ian Thompson, an organizer with the ANSWER Coalition.
Nah, make the punishment appropriate.... the get to spend the next week doing community service by removing posters under the view of DC Police along the entire length of Conn Ave.
Ping.
I say keep them locked up until next sunday...
So, these communist idiots are screeching "Free Speech!" all over the city. I wonder if they would be free speech champions for some fed-up patriots who took it upon themselves to offer their own free speech political commentary... spoken with a bucket of black paint and a paint roller, rolled over the offensive communist posters?
