How amazing is it that Bob Dylan cooperated and didn't claim to be profiled or even harassed! hmm?

[CondorFlight]

Dr. Gates should take a lesson from Dylan.

The incident began at 5 p.m. when a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront looking at houses.

Can't have a lone white guy wandering around in a black neighborhood now can we?

Trying to think of a Robert Zimmerman line here,......

First in with “a complete unknown” quote,....?

" How amazing is it that Bob Dylan cooperated and didn't claim to be profiled or even harassed! hmm? "

That's because Gates had a agenda, trash the whitey police officer and yell " RACISM !! " and then had his tag team WW Wrestling match buddie trash the whitey police officer on national TV.

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown

[rahbert]

All he needed to do was to ask him to sing the phrase
“Like a Rolling Stone”.

I'm not sure I'd recognize him:

When white drug buyers go to drug neighborhoods to buy drugs, the CHIEF law breakers are the BUYERS..?

No, but the buyers are WHITE and there is such a thing as PRIORITIES, ok? I mean there are just SOME things society cannot tolerate.

Oh...and uh...there IS a war on drugs, OK? Remember that.

"What is your name, sir?" the officer asked.

The answer my friend
is blowin' in the wind.

"Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood."

So what? Is Bob Dylan some sort of God or something that everyone is required by law to know who he is and what he looks like? I would walk right past him as well. If I bothered to remember what he looked like I'd probably hurl an insulting comment at him as I walked by about his idiotic political views, misguided environmentalism, what a hypocrite he is expecting others to conserve while he exploits to satisfy his enormous carbon appetite.

[microgood]

The cops should be fired, prosecuted and sent to a work camp in Siberia.

[machogirl]

The officer did the officer’s job.

[DieHard the Hunter]

...and he didn’t even ask “DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!????”

[EGPWS]

I couldn't help but get at least one photo of Zimmerman's Gulfstream to show. : )

[HereInTheHeartland]

Why is 20 something old cop supposed to know who he is?
I don’t see why this is a story.

[conservativefromGa]

How dare a citizen walk the streets minding his own business. I like how the cops had to walk him back to his hotel.

NJ is crazy.

LOL. Yeah, you can get into a heap of trouble looking at houses in Long Branch. He should have gone a little further west toward Norwood Ave, you can still get a good eyeful there.

Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood. Dylan was in Long Branch, about a two-hour drive south of New York City, on July 23 as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium in nearby Lakewood.

And yet Mellencamp roams free. Amazing!

And Willie too, with all his priors and everything!

Calm down everyone ... this story was run in a thread on FR last night and the consensus in that thread was pretty much that it is a non-story, the only thing making it a 'story' is that there was a well known person involved. That's all there is to it, nothing more.

Bob Who? Dylan Gets Treated Like a Commoner (How does it feel?)
