What was his crime you ask?

Why, he was trying to report the news on the role of corporate lobbyists in the DNC

Make sure you watch the accompanying video. It's pretty shocking.

That doesn't hock me. So much for freedom of speech.
Remember that librarian that was charged with trespassing for holding up a sign that says McCain=Bush outside of a town meeting.
Government will never get rid of lobbyists. They say they do but mot of them don't.
Money makes the world go round.

No Ruthep, I don't remember that but do you remember when Obama got a pass for putting Campaign signs on the gates around the Western Wall in Jerusalem?

McCain=Bush) Petty

The respect a visitor shows to what is sacred to another nation? MAJOR.

I'm not so concerned about the DNC in this one. It's pretty typical to try and keep your opponents at a distance and it's not unusual for a hotel to cater to big clients by keeping reporters away.

The thing that is truly disturbing is the way the police handled the situation. Forget all the politics involved, some serious complaints should be filed and disciplinary action taken. I never thought I'd see a police officer push a man into the street and then accuse him of blocking traffic. Most disturbing was when the officer was holding the man by his throat. I worked as a detention officer and went to the academy. There are no authorized holds that involve holding a man by the throat.

I was actually waiting for something to happen, there was a decent amount of people who things happened to, but the reporter getting shoved around by that police officer (side-walk is public property btw, so there's no reason for him to be arrested, and the hotel couldn't actually legally remove him)...was one of the top stories I saw.

Surprised that it happened? Not at all. Surprised that ABC said it wasn't gonna pursue what alot of us think is appropriate legal action? Nooo.
Surprised that its taken a whole weekend for this to circulate until it was talked about. I gotta admit, a bit, yeah.
