1. Paul Ryan is like a character in a Frank Capra movie. |
|
Not one of the good guys.

I think Paul Ryan looks like Alfalfa from the Our Gang movies. Just give him a cowlick and a few freckles and "voila" Alfalfa.

8. How could he be charged with trespassing if he had a ticket? |
|
And what was the probable cause that justified the arrest? Since when is speaking one's mind a crime. Fuck the goddamn cops and fuck Ryan.

9. This should go viral... |
|
how can a citizen excising their First Amendment Right of Free Speech be arrested at a an event such as this?
In the video, he threatened no one, he was just loud. It may be one thing to attempt to mover the man or calm him down, but it is something else entirely to arrest him. For Ryan to "joke" about the man's blood pressure is particularly disturbing...and this is one of the SOB's Hoffa was talking about...who would want this clown in charge of Medicare?

10. That's uncool. I was more disgusted by the blood pressure joke than the take down. |

11. one of the comments was quite interesting... |
|
spoke to how a retired plumber who questions the gop gets hauled out in handcuffs, and a (fake) plumber who cheerleads the gop gets made into a some sort of folk hero.
yup. that is for sure.

12. What happened to "listening to the American people?" |
|
That only applies to the Americans who agree with them.
