A local man was handcuffed and arrested after standing at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue in protest against the war in Iraq.

Victor Kittila, 55, of Eastpointe was standing near the road in Ferndale last week holding a sign that read "Honk if you want Bush Out," according to the Daily Tribune. Kittila lost the sign after police confiscated it and placed him under arrest.

"I'll be back there," said Kittila.

Ferndale police seized the sign asking people to honk because it was becoming too noisy in an already busy part of town, according to the paper's reports.

2. This one line says it all:

"Ferndale police seized the sign asking people to honk because it was becoming too noisy in an already busy part of town, according to the paper's reports."

Guess more than a few people were honking, eh?

7. BEEP-BEEP!

Sadly, we're seeing more and more of these sorts of stories. I fear for our right to protest, it seems like it is slowly, but surely being taken away from us.

8. AAAAOOOOOGGAAAAAHHH

Blow it out Bush's @$$.

9. Apparently many were honking which

shows us that they want Bush out...

Prove he is breaking the law or release him... Unless there is a law on the books prohibiting this, then he is free to do this....

10. "Honk If You Want Bush Out"...and it was too noisy?????

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: That is too funny!

I don't understand why he was arrested?? It's not illegal to stand on a street corner these days, is it?:eyes:

11. What did they charge him with? Noise pollution? n/t

[nosillies]

13. They'll probably say he was inciting a riot or some such nonsense

Do they plan on tracking down and arresting all those who honked?

16. I've seen that "inciting a riot" shit used time and time again... n/t

14. I see alot less protesters here

There was a group who used to stand at an intersection near general businesses and this went on for years until bush made his statements about putting his lousy crime family down . There were all sorts of great signs and almost every horn would blow .

America is no longer free speech or free expression it appears . What we need are many more people in huge groups so they can't be arrested so simply .

15. Is there a noise ordinance for that area? Do they enforce tub-thumpers?

What about ricer kids w/loud exhausts? Harley drivers? Truck drivers?
