Oh look. Freepers all of a sudden care about free speech and free assembly now that people they like are on the short end of the stick.

Of course they'll be right back hooting and hollering in joy just as soon as cops give protesters they don't like the "wooden shampoo".

They think (I guess you can call it that) that rights can be taken from others without losing their own in the process. The logical disconnect is amusing, to say the least.

Most people on this site have absolutely no desire for a consistent policy applied to everyone. They singularly care about positive outcomes for favored groups.

Well hypocrites you've made your own bed. Now lay in it.

I remember you. You were the guy who thought it was wrong for police to arrest trespassers on private property.

Wrong. Many here are expressing their opinion, and this is not much
different then a Judge, according to each case by case basis.

If you would take note and read you would see clearly that many
here (including myself) would like more specific information about this
case before passing any solid judgement.

Matter of fact, I'm searching right now to find the names of those
arrested to possibly contact them and gain some facts.
Why? Because we can help our brothers and sisters. Thats why!

So there. Have a nice day.

I am curious...why do you remain here if it's sooooo terrible? Sounds to me like you would prefer the company of more perfect people, like yourself. Maybe you live with perfect people and are just pointing out our failure to live up to your god-like expectations. It's a FREE COUNTRY, so you might think of NOT wasting your time with the flawed people who frequent this site, IMHO...

Ain't that the truth? Hear, hear!

As your name implies, you are freeeee to take your sorry ass out of the country. The real patriots will stay and fight and are not afraid of the pink brigade and those scum cops and judges in Philly.

I think you have this just a weeeeeee bit backwards. You think as most lefties do that the left had, has, and should always have a legalized monopoly on protests. When you see people YOU don't like showing you that the right ALSO has a First Amendment right to protest, you have to duct tape your head so it won't explode. We have been silent for 40 years putting up with your insanity and you can't stand it now that we're using the same tactics on you -- EXCEPT WITHOUT THE VIOLENCE, WITHOUT THE VANDALISM, WITHOUT THE INDECENT EXPOSURE, WITHOUT THE LITTERING AND URINATING IN PUBLIC, AND WITHOUT THE GENERAL LAWLESSNESS. And that's the part that drives you nuts -- we go about honorably instead of trying to see who can be the biggest lowlife.

They think (I guess you can call it that) that rights can be taken from others without losing their own in the process. The logical disconnect is amusing, to say the least.

The ONLY time the vast majority of us in here EVER want the cops to crack heads is when ANY protesters -- left or right -- get violent or otherwise violate the law and then resist arrest. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? The right to protest DOES NOT include the right to vandalize property or to physically attack your opponents. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? Any protester, whether Pro-Life or Pro-Copulation-In-the-Street-In-Front-of-Children, should get their heads cracked if they break the law and THEN resist arrest. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

Most people on this site have absolutely no desire for a consistent policy applied to everyone. They singularly care about positive outcomes for favored groups.

The fact that you not only are not the least bit concerned about whether or not these Christians had their civil rights violated, but are gleeful about is proof that YOU are the one who "singularly cares about positive outcomes for YOUR favorite groups".

Well hypocrites you've made your own bed. Now lay in it.

You would have to get out of it first.
