Why did he have to be from Delco?

A Ridley Park man was arrested outside of the Toby Keith concert at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, N.J., Saturday for shouting racial slurs and waving a Confederate flag at residents of a nearby apartment complex.

Darren T. Walp, 33, was tailgating in the parking lot of the concert venue when around 6:30 p.m. he decided to scale the large, wrought iron fence that separates the parking lot from the nearby Royal Court apartment complex, according to the Camden County Police Department.

Once he was on the private grounds of the complex, Walp began waving a Confederate flag at residents and "shouting very unsavory, unacceptable things at people," including racial slurs, said Michael Daniels, Camden police spokesman.

This guy is a yahoo.

You are correct that my reply would be a “NO”.

That would be like me letting you borrow my car, when you have already told me you are too drunk to drive it!

[no-to-illegals]

very interesting ... running name, city and state and nobody listed.

[sauropod]

Here’s a newsflash. Tigerized is not a troll. He’s the real deal.

1rudeboy - dunno what’s made you pissed. Chill out, dude.

Good NIGHT!

>> Racial slurs and waving a flag are now illegal? Who knew? <<<

He climbed over a fence onto private property.

Go back to Huffpo, troll.

[1rudeboy]

And I didn’t mean the above, really . . . just letting you know what made me pissed.

[sauropod]

You know better than that, little buddy.

[sauropod]

Pls ignore *blush*. I didn’t see your 2nd comment.

Peace out, bro.

“Here’s a newsflash. Tigerized is not a troll. He’s the real deal.”

Ah, a ray of sunshine! Thanks for the supportive post.

After a certain point, having these “discussions” is fruitless.

Needless chest thumping, followed by personal insults, is something that’s de riguer for those on the left. It’s all they’ve got. I would expect a bit more civility on FR, where points are usually made via logic and salient points, not who can exhibit the most boorish behavior.

My original point was apparently lost; IF someone uses “the N word”, they are to be immediately tried and convicted in the press, and no longer have any constitutional rights. While I don’t support drunken idiocy, and do support being responsible for one’s actions, I still maintain that every citizen always has the right of free speech.

My late, great aunt used “the N word” quite freely until the day she died. She didn’t have any malice when using it, as this particular word was in very common use by her generation. Yes, she was quite old when she passed.

However, if she had been black and said the same thing, nobody would bat an eye. Why is that?

Of course not. But doesn't that prove a fence can't keep out undesirables? /S

Just saw this thread...so I'm late to the party.
I was at this show and attend many of the Country music concerts in Camden. There's always alot of drinking and pick up trucks flying Confederate Flags in the parking lots. However, most of them are near the waterfront away from the neighborhoods. I really wish more of the Country performers would play The Mann Music Center or Festival Pier at Penn's Landing. The Susquehanna Bank Center itself is a great venue, but having to deal with Camden ruins the experience. To make things worse, the new Camden County police force tries to micromanage the traffic flow at these events and has everything screwed up. IMO the old Camden City police force did a much better job handling the waterfront events.
