He said he had formally notified police of his intention of performing a citizen's arrest. His way of hoping they will prevent him from getting a beating by security guards.

That’s the chap, though his portrayal was the family friendly one originating in the book “Christopher Syn” rather than the take-no-prisoners original series. Nice that Disney’s finally going to release a DVD set of “Scarecrow of Romney Marsh” later this year.

When will these self-absorbed, self-centered, irrational people grow up? Their opinions, such as they are, are not that important.

The bat is the best idea.
This guy is a coward and publicity seeker. If he wasn’t a coward he wouldn’t have told anyone, just gone ahead with his stupid citizen arrest. This way he gets the ink but still will be stopped well short of Bolton. So he doesn’t even get to commit a crime, is free to run around like a fool, and has a good book of press clippings from this episode. Actually a pretty smart pr move on this coward’s part. I still like the bat, prempt him when someone first sees him near the stage.

“Explaining his motivation for carrying out what will be a purely symbolic gesture”
That’s all the left has anymore, symbolic gestures. They have no genuine ideas, nothing to contribute to society as a whole, and no original thoughts left in their empty skulls. So they set up little media events and then tell everyone who will listen about it in hopes that it will spark something...it does....disdain in great quantities.

If I was Bolton, I would hire a PI to determine what assets were available. Submit calmly to the citizens arrest and immediately have my attorney file a lawsuit for false arrest............. in effect, transferring those assets to me.

Oh brother.
Here’s hoping Bolton has the opportunity to punch Monbiot’s lights out.

Oh my gosh... this is hilarious.
I’m no expert on their law over there, but such an “arrest” would clearly be illegal. Therefore any force used for such an arrest would be illegal and any reasonable force used to resist the “arrest” would be self defense.

His behavior is like that of a spoiled rich kid ... Liberals often remind me of spoiled kids, given everything they want but perpetually unhappy. The other end of the spectrum, those raised with discipline and a sense of responsibility remind me of conservatives.

Agreed. And if McCain would step aside in 2012 and support Bolton for [conservative] President, it would be even better!

Pistol whip him hard with a 45.Now, now. There is no sense in risking damage to a perfectly good pistol by exposing it to the thick skull of an idiot.
