As we watch, and hear Americas ruling republican's, of our REPUBLIC, take actions of control directing their representation in government, we see, and hear democratic follies of individuals chosing their own form of democracy. A form of "pure democracy" that its ruling powers, its powers of enforcement, write, define, and execute according to the individual will of the characters in charge of a public event. A singular form of protection which negates the publics ability to peacefully assemble, and petition the government leaders, who the property owners, and enforcement agencies align themselves with. The government leader choses what they consider safe territory for a public event, and that territory becomes a firewall of protection according to the individual groups, and parties, associated with the event. Case in point, the following, which I received from The Patriot Depot, with a link directing me to this August 28, 2009 WorldNetDaily report by, Drew Zahn;

Town-hall clash! Arrest threat over Obama 'Joker' poster
Officer threatens arrest: This ain't America no more
Editor's note: Earlier reports that Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. is a police officer were in error. Further investigation has revealed Officer Cheeks is a trained member of the Fairfax County Public Schools' trained School Security Officer team. To contact the school's security force, email Fred Ellis, the director of safety and security for Fairfax County Public Schools, or Jim McLain, the security coordinator.
A depiction of the sign banned by Officer Cheeks |
"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a security officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.
The officer's response?
"It ain't no more, OK?"
Get the prescription for reclaiming America's heritage of liberty – before the what the officer said is true – Joseph Farah's "Taking America Back," autographed only at the WND SuperStore.
A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.
Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.
"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.
"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing."
Video of the exchange can be seen below:
You can finish reading the story by clicking the link, but what is apparent from the video is that the enforcer, and cohert, are imposing personal restrictions during a public event in which the mans right to peacefully petition was violated. This was not a school event, but an event in which the school provided space for a PUBLIC event, per Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va. A congresscritter that does not have the authority to block any of his constituents from voicing, displaying any form of opposition, unless it is a threat to public safety. It appears Cheeks threatened the personal safety of the protester with threats limiting the public views if they were not the views of the individuals donating space, and time, for the public event.
