Ouch. Romney was in my town today. Was tempted to go but didn't feel like throwing up today. The local media is really whoring him up.

[Bruno]

I just read this on his Blue Republican facebook post. Pretty crazy wake up story.

[blazeKing]

I've heard of people getting attacked and manhandled just for asking him why Goldman Sachs gives huge donations to both him and Obama.

This is the new America...you lick their boots or disappear.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Woooooooah

It gives us an idea of what a Police Nation Romney would run.

This is scary stuff.

Don't go to Romney events go knock on doors you make a bigger impact knocking on doors

[wc01127]

Police nowadays will lie and abuse your rights just to find a reason to arrest you. Have heard many stories like this in the past few years and it is very frightening.

This guy was still undecided and looking to consider Romney for the evening!

Romney's event was on private property. They can ask anyone to leave they want to. Writer of the article didn't leave when asked. Was it a legal arrest? Sure it was. Does it reflect badly on Romney's campaign? If the writer is honest about the situation, it sure looks bad.

I hope nobody here to goes on a rant and hope everyone respects property rights.

[anaconda]

Can this fellow sue somebody?

[anaconda]

Was it a legal arrest? Sure it was.

How was it legal? They could escort him out but how can they arrest him?

[CJLauderdale4]

They did this in 2008 at the FAU debate to the Guilliani supporters by putting them behind a fenced area they called a "free speech zone". I got it on camera:

He can definitely show up in court and fight the charges. He can also do what he has done: publish everything and hope it goes viral. I hope it does. I hope the major networks pick this story up and he becomes the 2012 equivalent of Joe Plumber.

The Police are not private security. If this were private security the man would be asked to leave and if he were disruptive he would be physically thrown off the premises, in the same way a bar handles drunken patrons. Instead, "Mittens" Romney was able to hire militarized police officers (costumed statist goons) to imprison, identify, fingerprint, photograph and interrogate an innocent civilian who tried to stand up for his Natural Rights. That is a major problem for me in a country I call my own.

For? Statements like yours are a big part of what's wrong with our country.

The Romeny event was on private property. The writer did not leave when requested. That's criminal trespass.

The "can't return to the street -- you'll be arrested if you use your first amendment rights" nonsense is absolutely unacceptable.

And he should have been given a final warning before being arrested.

Property owners have rights. They can ask anyone to leave they want to.

[jd603]

If the account is accurate there is grounds for a lawsuit. It is private property though, and if they asked you to leave and you did not then they had grounds to remove you. Did they charge you with trespassing?

Oh I just realized it wasn't YOU , you were just pointing out the article. I don't want to submit my login details to comment on his post really.

...and to the person who said filing lawsuits is what is wrong with this country I disagree, it's the only way the system allows you to push back , it's not frivolous at all.

Yeah, it's a legal arrest. I suspect he's being a little disingenuous about why he was at Romney's HQ earlier, but whatever.

[ryanmkeisling]

It has been getting worse for decades, the citizens of America have been complacent, as well as elected all of the people who have made things this way. All of a sudden everyone is talking about the obvious results of that type of lifestyle like this just magically happened one day: it has been a gradual process, slow and gradual. It will be a sad future if Ron Paul is not elected because they are on the verge of complete control.

The police officer was not the property owner.

Not if it's open to the public. This is why Ron was against the Civil Rights Act, because no private property owners with doors open to the public had to serve "the public" no matter what.

[anaconda]

Yes, inquiring who is eligible for a civil suit is the type of thing that is ruining our country.

[kylejack]

The police officer was not the property owner.

The people renting the property had control over the venue, and told the officer to order the man to leave. The man didn't, so he was trespassing.

An event that is open to the public can still ban individuals, just as a restaurant open to the public can decide they don't want this guy eating there.

[jd603]

If he was asked to leave and did not, the officer was justified (as it was open to the public). If he did not ask or this guy was on his way out and just asking some questions then the officer did not have grounds to arrest and charge him. He still could have removed him from the property however.

If this is true then yes, he could have been charged with trespassing.

[jersdream]

This is only one side of the story. I would like to hear the officer's side and the Romney's campaign side.

[kfking]

First, I suspect that the man isn't saying everything straightly. Second, even in his version of the story he was arrestable for trespassing.

The two things that get me about the story are the ability to hire police, and the fact that he couldn't talk to the media nor be in the street near the event.

[Carehn]

I really really really hope Paul does not sale out and team up with mittens.

Some one should address me starting with ' ye of little faith'
