Comments on: Vendor Arrested For "Impeach Him" Buttons

Maryland Retiree's Anti-Bush Buttons Attract Supporters ... And Police

Guy gets warned because vendors are complaining, he's overtly aggressive, and has no permit. Then, when he gets arrested, it's all about 'freedom of speech'.

Bull. He was told to stop, and flaunted his wares anyways. He deserves what ever he gets as punishment.

I'm all for free speech, but not at the expense of breaking rules and laws to do it. You are entitled to your opinion, but don't be breaking the law to force it down my throat.

Hear is more evidence that the Republicans don't play by the rules..... This guy has a right to free speach. He is not making a ton of money selling these pins, so leave him alone. I hope his supporters get together and hire this guy a lawyer then band together to "impeach" their city council.

If this had been a pro-war/pro-Bush nut job peddling badges that promoted the illegal Bushie war, I doubt any action would have been taken to stop him. The fascist police who are only too happy to go after anyone who dares speak out against the illegal Bushie war need to be be stood up to.

Goodie!!! Great PR for everyone...the ones who love freedom of speech and the ones who wish it would go away!! Win-win. Hauling a 74 year old man off a public shopping area under the guise he wasn't properly licensed looks great!!! Smacks of making the Bush protesters stand miles from an appearance so as not to give the impression Bush has people not happy with him taking the time and trouble to show up. The little general thinks of everything, huh? 18 months and counting.

Rick, I am close to his age and I make this observation, Both of us are old enough that we don't give a flip. If we feel strongly about something, we can say it. We don't lose very much at crunch time. Younger folks have to worry about making someone angry at them. Ppl can get angry at me, its no skin off my nose. I try not to offend but I don't worry about it.

What happened to Freedom of Speech? This is political, I don't care what the mayor calls it.
