Welcome to Amerika!
Most of you probably watched the Presidential Debate on Friday... What you may not know is that Michael Badnarik (Libertarian Candidate) protested his exclusion from the debate. Well, he crossed the police line and got arrested. It was expected, civil disobedience and all... Here's what's fucked up though:
Jon reports that Mr. Badnarik said the whole process would have taken a lot less time but there was a lot of commotion on campus. They arrested five students who “literally just accidentally crossed over into the ‘no-longer-a-free-speech-zone’ and they nearly were nearly taken out by snipers. According to the report, it was just five kids trying to go back to their dorms. After expressing outrage over the way the students were treated, Badnarik stated that this slowed his processing dramatically.

A gentleman by the name of Nick Patton called me. He said he “lives in area.”
He stated that crossing the initial police line was not difficult. He had been in the tents near the debates for two hours and was leaving the premises to watch on it all video.
“I was leaving and they took me down,” Patton said.

A young man by the name of Abel Jones called me. He reported that he was walking back from the debate activities with one guy and two girls. They saw some guys who Jones said looked like Secret Service agents. They asked if they could cut across the lawn they were approaching, and the “Secret Service looking guys” said they didn’t care.
After walking 20 to 40 yards, they were taken down by two officers and told there were snipers trained on them.
They were told they were “lucky they were not hit by the snipers.”
Jones said that no rights were read to them. He stated that one girl was treated roughly. Her earrings and shoelaces were taken off. He stated that she was treated more roughly than everyone else.
You would think that Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC would be all over this affront to the democratic process, but no, not a peep.
Yeah... Isn't America great?
