“It was on private property. I guess we’ve lost the right to decide what we allow on our own property?”
Private property opened to the public with a public figure speaking....
Why did they not just ask the photographer to leave? Why would they have a problem with his filming a public figure in a forum that was advertised as open to all?
He was not invading a private meeting. He was allowed to be there.
Was it necessary to rough him up because he was taking pictures? If it was private property, and if he refused to leave, he could have been arrested. So, why did they choose to push his camera in his face instead of asking him to go and then calling the police if he refused?
Is taking pictures a threat to anyone’s safety? Was anyone endangered? Is it unreasonable that someone take video at a forum that’s advertised as open to the public?
What exactly was the problem?
It certainly wasn’t a case of private property rights being violated.
