Arrested for not providing identification on demand. Two Occupiers are now in custody for "obstructing" an officer. We must ALL OBEY the papers please request to be good Germans Americans.
This yet again shows how far we have fallen as a free society.
Madison County deputies arrested two protesters this morning, members of an Occupy Wall Street group that has walked all the way from New York City to Athens, headed for Atlanta.
Group member Darrin Annussek said the Madison deputies stopped the group for questioning shortly before 10 a.m., shortly after the group left the home in Hull where they had spent Sunday night. The deputies said they had received a complaint about a group being rowdy, said Annussek, who added that the group, walking in a heavy rain, was far from rowdy Monday morning.
When the deputies asked the group members to produce identification, two refused, because they felt it was a violation of their civil rights as Americans, Annussek said. The Madison deputies took the pair into custody, charging them with obstruction of a police officer, Annussek said.
Walking to an Occupy Camp is not something they want people to do.
Think of the oil that didn't get burned.
Will someone please think of Exxon, who by the way got more in Federal handouts than this country spends on all welfare for individuals. I don't have a link for that but as a recipient of the "social safety net" I find the plausibility to be quite compelling.
And look what happened in the south the last time people banded together to fight oppression. They lost all the good seats on the bus. They had to share their bathrooms and restaurants with people that didn't look like them. Oh the humanity we must stop this.
Now if those Occupiers would just OBEY then we can let the 1% destroy the world and everyone in it in peace.
