No free speech in Philadelphia

McCain T-shirt gets man arrested.

"A man wearing a McCain-Palin T-shirt during a Philadelphia celebration on election night was arrested, cuffed and stuffed into a police cruiser, and supporters said it was for no more than wearing the endorsement of the GOP nominees for president and vice-president. Although the man protested that he didn't want to cause any trouble, officers manhandled and arrested him, the video posted on YouTube shows.



Philadelphia Police Sgt. Ray Evers told WND the man, whose name was not released, was arrested for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. "He was causing large crowds to form around him," Evers said, adding that he also "was not listening to police commands." "He was asked several times to leave the area," the sergeant said. "He refused several commands from police to leave the area."

Why should he leave the area? He was doing nothing wrong.
