There is such a thing as decorum.

He could have waited until she opened up the meeting for a possible Q&A session or something.

He was asked to leave politely and refused.

Free speech has it's limits. Common courtesy is a virtue.
So you think that Hillary Clinton is some sort of Queen?

LOL...."BEATEN" ????

Seriously.

He was asked to leave and refused. He was then escorted out and he resisted. So he got some bruises as a result of him not peacefully leaving and resisting the officers. The video shows all of that.

If it was SO easy, then it certainly couldn't have been too much to ask for a link in the 1st place.

Who says it is customary? Those are my words and my opinion and you read the durn thing. If you wish to dispute my opinion of the event then do your own durn research as I don't do people's homework for them.

Of course not!?

But if you go to hear someone talk, it is common courtesy to allow them to talk and not be disruptive.

You await your chance to speak.

Methinks you protest too much and it leads me to think you may have omitted the link because they don't actually jive with your portrayal of events.

He didn't say anything from what I read, he was just standing there. Is it LAW to be seated in front of the queen at all times or risk getting beaten? Maybe the students at Columbia need to hear what you are saying.

Right...because no protesters were ever arrested for disorderly conduct when a Democrat was in the White House?

That would be news to all the thousands who were arrested in the 60's.

He didn't speak, he didn't say anything, he merely stood their quietly.


I just find the whole point that during a speech on freedom of speech, tolerance and the right to protest in the Middle East, this occurs and to a veteran in America.

disgusting

When you go to such an event, they set the rules.

I don't even care for Hillary Clinton, that's besides the point.

If there is a rule against signs, you can be told not to display one. If you refuse, they have the right to tell you to leave. If you don't leave after being asked, you may be physically removed.

Standing with your back to the speaker obstructs other people's view and comes under the heading of being disruptive.

Has he waited politely and sat until there was time to speak, he may have been given his chance to speak

I respect the man for being a veteran.

But there are many liberals here in another thread that would argue his rights aren't any more worthy than some rich college kid's.

I also respect rules though. Rules of decorum dictate that you not disrupt other people's right to hear and see the speaker.
