Yea, that was really dumb.

I think the guy did a heck of a job articulating his conservative beliefs and what was wrong with this whole situation from a constitutional perspective. I particularly liked the part about the police "just doing their jobs", the Nazis with the gas chambers analogy, and the need for every person to determine where their line in the sand will be drawn. I'd like to think that at least the second cop, even if he would never admit it on camera, agreed with what he heard.

I also wonder if the Virginian intentionally engaged in what might be seen as possible suspicious behavior to poke the bear and see what if any response resulted.

someone give me a clif's notes version.

The guy was at the Capital grounds before the day of the rally observing and kind of inspecting the area. At one point the guy was telling the capital officers that the pillars on the building are wood covered in plaster (I think) not stone, which they agreed with. I cant remember the details of how they traced the guy, but this the 21st century.

Hmmm...juts imagine if he had been over checking out the legs on those rooftop cranes in the background.

I was hoping to see those turds at the Rally. Their behavior is right in line with Checkpoint Charlie.

"please leave my property"

It appeared he said that a few times but they kept "engaging" him. I can understand what he was doing, for the most part----but I agree, "leave my property now please I have to meet someone....."

Also, did they state they have no warrant? They said they were there on a "tip"? I could not watch the entire clip and I'll watch it later to get the full story...

Blatant attempt at intimidation.

One of them did say that they did not have a warrant.

Thanks, I thought I heard that----Also, the cop on the left said "We're doing this for your safety and others"....Is he serious?

BTW, it appears he did this before the rally and was "flagged" as suspicious. How did they know where he lived? Know he was at the rally? Why was it "suspicious"?
