136. Here here. The kid was protesting the stolen election that makes
so many of us crazy to think of it and have no power to do anything. He was calling out what he thinks could be some kind of fall Kerry took (skull and bones stuff). He was afraid of the police and what they might do. He may even be emotionally unbalanced. But this country is not supposed to be a police state or act like one and that was police state stuff. I'm seeing it in You-tube more and more. What about a few weeks ago when those restaurant laborers were protesting slave labor conditions by chinese ownership of a restaurant and that poor young girl had her leg broken?

Wake up people. This is not okay nor can it be rationalized away by blaming the victim, even if he did act like a jerk at the podium. He broke no laws and therefore an arrest was unlawful.
