Man arrested for 'peace' T-shirt

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- A lawyer was arrested late Monday and charged with trespassing at a public mall in the state of New York after refusing  to take off a T-shirt advocating peace that he had just purchased at the
mall.
According to the criminal complaint filed Monday, Stephen Downs was wearing a T-shirt bearing the words "Give Peace A Chance" that he had just purchased from a vendor inside the Crossgates Mall in Guilderland, New York, near Albany.
He could face up to a year in prison if convicted.

CONVICTED OF WHAT?
LDS, now here is where you and I converge on opinions of Pres. Bush.
The boy scares me. He is abrogating too many civil rights in his pursuit of his goal.
Military tribunals for American citizens. I DON'T THINK SO!!

Here is where you may well get to see American constitutional process in action.

If he gets too crazy with all this, he will be history. We Americans simply will now allow anybody messing with our freedom to be complete jerks.

Choices are:
a- not re-elect him
b- impeach him
c- assassinate him

And believe me, Americans that get ticked off are capable of "all of the above".

What is this country coming to? We now take away the right to free speech. I'm sorry to those who think this is necessary for any reason. I think that the case should be laughed right out of court. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Vale,
I'm with you.
I think the District Attorney who even brought such a case ought to be disbarred.
He or she is obviously incompetant.
