Gee, how do you guys think that one is going to turn out?

Great plan.

Arrest is different than assault.

Maybe Special Forces can assist.

Birthers Call For Millions to Swarm Washington, November 19, in a Day of Reco

..... which is supposed to culminate with the citizen grand jury......

the technical term is "make-believe".


it's being reported that there will be 3,000+ truckers participating:

3,000+ Truckers Descend On D.C To Demand Arrest & Impeachment - Birther Report: Obama Release Your Records

if anyone is accepting bets i'll take between 2 and 3 dozen truckers in attendance ( and i think that's being overly generous ).

only if you have a legal right to make an arrest. in this fantasy scenario it could theoretically be assault and/or kidnapping.

If you have no legal grounds nor authority to carry out an arrest, it is in fact assault. The law doesn't care if you really, honestly think you have a good reason. (It's all completely academical, of course - they have neither the courage to do the attempt nor the skills to carry it out.)

Don't know which state you're talking about, but I used to live in West L.A. and commuted to Sherman Oaks every day. I'm *very* familiar with 405 traffic (and the alternate routes around it ).

- turns out our heroic citizen-trucker was just trying to get some attention:

Capital Beltway shutdown just a ploy for attention, trucker says - The Washington Post

Seeing how truckers tend to like country, I thought this a fitting tribute:

Like a Right-wing Troll-boy

I think you should boycott everything delivered by truck! That'll teach 'em!

Go for it! Can't wait to hear the details of your proposal. Should be stunning.
