I remember they herded all the protestors to the caged off area's last time the conventions came around.

You don't even have to be aware of or notified that there are secret service around in order to be arrested for protesting your first amendment rights. America, the land of the fee and the home of the slave.

All this started when the democrats got upset that people actually stood up in their town hall meetings and yelled at em and told em what they thought during the '10 elections. Now if somebody does that they will be taken away in handcuffs it appears.

I knew just from the title that it would be another case of a leftie posting without reading their own article.

Well all this has been building for awhile. The arrogance of constantly putting it in writing is bound to eventually come back and bite them in the rear.
