"At Jones' Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., protesters arrived early yesterday along with a heavy police presence equipped with bomb sniffing dogs.

"There have been several threats to the church and church members," said Tscharna Senn, an officer with the Gainesville police.

Cops pounced on one protester, 29-year-old Sebastain Bagby, when he held up a Koran and whipped out a lighter. The officers grabbed the items out of Bagby's hand but didn't arrest him."

Interesting, I agree, and don't see anything illegal.

Its all about perseption. Sure you have the right to burn the quran but there is a time and place to do it. Laws still have to be followed people tend to forget that second part.

Oops, wrong thread.

Yeah, death, I agree, and he wasn't arrested, he just had his lighter taken away.

Nobody said he was arrested. What I said was that the police interfered with his 1st amendment rights. I hope they get sued.

If I look like I am going to throw my ice cream wrapper on the ground in Washington DC, you wont see a cop 'pounce' on me to take the wrapper out of my hand to prevent littering. You will see the cop give me a ticket afterwards.

You do not get arrested for open burning. That is a local ordinance, and not a criminal offense. It is an infraction, and normally a fine

You forget after or during that ticket writting session you or he will pick up that wrapper. There is however a difference between the 2. One is a piece of garbage laying on the ground and the other is a potential hazard to self and property. Thats why you have to get a burn permit. What if someone has reported a gas leak in the area or those involved are just retarded? Someone elses shit might get damaged for their freedom of speach. There is a right way and a wrong one. They choose poorly.

Whatever Death. All synthesized concerns. I get it, but a citation would have done the job.

On a side note, check out the rally at the end of this clip. I hope Central park doesn't end up like this 10 years from now.
