Short report from a friend of mine in Iowa

[RonPaulFever]

A good friend of mine who is in Council Bluffs supporting Hillary tells me that Ron Paul people are EVERYWHERE.....but that there has been a skirmish or two with local police regarding illegal/improper solicitation of literature.....he says to warn everyone that soliciting literature in or around the mall is ILLEGAL and should be avoided.

That's too bad that your friend supports Hillary. She gives me the shivers.

Skirmishes? I don't like the sound of that. What kind of "skirmishes"...

Actually, it is not illegal per se.

The mall operators can give permission for expressive activities. Police only have reason to become involved is a property owner or agent calls them because someone wouldn't leave when asked, behaved "badly" etc.

Typically, a refusal to leave when asked to by cops could result in a trespass citation, and an order to appear before a court. Any jailing of the person would be up to the cops, unless the property owner effected a citizen's arrest, in which case police would probably transport the person to jail, not as the arrestors, but on the instructions of the property owner.

"He says that..."

Thanks for the post, but, really, who cares what your Hillary supporter friend recommends. The fact that he wants us to stop questionable activities makes me want to chip-in more money to the troops in Iowa.

He's seen Ron Paul supporters getting arrested and getting into confrontations with police. I've known the guy for a while, he's honest and has no reason to lie to me.
