    Not sure many know this but let me sum it up. Hillary Clinton was giving a speech somewhere and as soon as she began, a man turned his head/back to Clinton. The man was arrested and brutally beat in jail. Over a speech of Hillary talking about Freedom of Speech related on the internet. What the hell? Our government is retarded i swear.

    Fun Fact: The man was 71 years old...really America? Really?

    Fun Fact 2: This was all yesterday

    Must see link.....

    Anyways, this is kinda humorous to someone like me. And so very messed up at the same time. I doubt there was anything that man did that would involve him going to jail.

    Surely there's more to the story than just some old fart turning his back. I can't think a law enforcement officer would be so stupid as to arrest someone solely for that- they'd know nothing would stick and the department would end up looking like assholes. I need a source on this.

    I still think there's something more to this story. And I wonder if there's some actual proof that the guy was beaten up in jail, because I wouldn't put it past people to lie about that in an effort to win a lawsuit or just make the police and/or Hillary's people look bad.

    Or maybe the cops or secret service guys thought he was going to pull a gun or detonate a bomb or something, and the old man tried to resist, resulting in bruises. *shrugs* I haven't seen a video of this, so I don't really know.

    However, if it's true, I love the irony of this happening during a speech about free speech.

    And lastly, for now, yada, yada, right to protest and all that, but really, why waste your time going to an event just to turn your back on it? Sit at home and drink a beer or something.

    I didn't hear about this and I actually watched(not read news on my homepage or on facebook) the news yesterday. Though if it be true it's pretty sad. Are we going to have to add the right to not have to listen to the 1st ammendment?

    America is getting pretty pathetic if this is true and Canada is looking better and better every approaching year till I graduate from college.


    I find something pretty fishy though about this, I'm thinking(I can even pull up the actual article because I need some sort of plugin plus the name of the site I'm not trusting) this article is like that of the daily global(the false, far-fetched fake news created for lunatics who think aliens are going to destroy the world tomorrow). I don't know, if you can find a link to a video from a legit news site or a link to a legit news article from let's say New York Times, then I'm going with there's more to this than stated here or it's fake.

    If he was actually beat at 71 years old... that's just ridicuolous. Honestly he shouldn't have been arrested either, 71 years old turning his back...hmmm... something just doesn't sound right, now does it. What is America coming to?

    I must admit the vid looks legit. Of course without any testing software I can't tell for sure. From what I've seen though there is little in the video of him before he got nabbed.

    If all that was stated is true then I feel really aweful for him. There is a lot of bs being thrown around lately on our streets.

    I believe CNN had an article on their website, though I haven't gone in search of it.

    Apparently, at least according to the comments on the article in the above post, this guy has made a habit recently of going to events, then standing and turning his back on the speaker.

    I still find it a little hard to believe that the security would arrest the guy if he calmly stood up and turned his back. But if they did, I hope something is done about it.
