I’m all for boisterous exercise of our 1st Amendment rights.
I’m also all for throwing the book at people who break the law, includingthe dirtbag that did this.
The harassment of delegates came as organized protests continued to draw thousands of people. The Still We Rise march by advocates for social issues was peaceful, and a Poor People’s March, a column several blocks long, proceeded from the United Nations to the Madison Square Garden yesterday after the police decided to let it go ahead without a permit.
When marchers approached the Garden, a police detective was knocked off his scooter. He was then repeatedly kicked and punched in the head by at least one male demonstrator, the police said.
Bravo. I’m sure the “poor people” are so proud to have you representing them.
hat tip to Dean Esmay.
