Where do you find he was upset about the consequences. However, charges should reflect what happened and not be erroneously trumped just because someone is a privileged person.

Cheney did the same thing.

Quote:
Howards had a moment of hesitation, but then he approached Cheney, who had several Secret Service agents nearby, and calmly told him: "Your policies in Iraq are reprehensible." This was soon after the media had reported the 2,500th U.S. troop death in the war in Iraq.
Quote:
According to Howards, Reichle said he would be charged with assaulting the vice president. Howards was formally charged with "harassment," a misdemeanor that carries up to a one-year jail sentence. He was held in jail for three hours and released after posting a $500 bond. The charges were eventually dropped. Howards is now suing the arresting agent.

So much for free speech in America.

No. Comprehension of the English language and how it is used in defining criminal actions is a valuable tool. You should seriously consider learning these skills;
