^upvote^ for a new euphemism for vagina: "the situation".

Now whenever I hear them talk about "the situation room", I am going to openly laugh. The thought of Wolf Blitzer wondering into a room full of vaginas is enough to cause asphyxiation by laughter.

Fun Fact: My avatar is the original, untouched picture from the situation room that day.

Anyone who is screaming at police officers on their front lawn is clearly causing annoyance and alarm, displaying tumultuous behavior, and quite likely qualifying for several other points. Being on your own property is not a "sanctuary" zone, where you can do whatever the hell you feel like. You still have to maintain some modicum of civility.

From the link brain provided, a section you did not quote providing generic legal defense advice:

Being angry and yelling at someone, even if that person is a police officer, is not sufficient cause to sustain a disorderly conduct charge. You are absolutely permitted to express yourself and your first amendment rights to free speech.

The simple fact is that you are probably more likely to be arrested for a disorderly conduct offense if you personally annoy a police officer. But that doesn't mean that you are guilty by any means.

That, plus the fact that the police department dropped the charge, seems to indicate it was not a proper arrest.

As someone else put it, "there's no such thing as contempt of cop." You're allowed to be mad at cops, and you're allowed to yell things at them. It's generally a stupid and counterproductive thing to do, but it's not against the law in and of itself.

Judge Napolitano seems to go even further, and says that in addition, Crowley entered the home illegally.

There's plenty to ponder here about how much race played a role in this, and who should be considered more at fault, but the illegitimacy of the arrest seems somewhat a settled issue.

My take is that Crowley got angry. Understandable, given that he was accused of racism essentially immediately when he was just responding to a call, but that doesn't make arresting Gates justified. A bigger man would have simply apologized for the misunderstanding on the spot in order to defuse the situation. Instead Crowley has refused to apologize even after the President (stupidly) makes it a national story, and even after the "beer summit."

Neither man should feel proud or justified about their behavior, and they both have something to apologize for. In my opinion Crowley has more to apologize for, because his transgression wasn't merely being rude and yelling; it was arresting someone whose only crime was being mad about a wrongful accusation made against him.

Now... I enjoy Mahers show and all that. But seriously, why the hell is a comedian being frequently interviewed for his opinions on a news network?


because instead of journalists, we turn to comedian commentators for our world view.... (see glen beck, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, etc etc etc etc)

"I plan to get as many votes for him [Nader] as possible, because it will take the votes away from Obama..." - Ron Paul.
Sir, you have just lost a serious amount of respect that I had for you. Throwing this race to McCain in lieu of a broken system is fucking childish, and it will not change a damn thing.
For shame.


"I don't see any difference between the two candidates -3:13-" Ron Paul

"No! I want to change the system! I want third party debate!." Ron Paul

"This is a ritual! This is a charade!" Ron Paul

Our only present hope for our country and American values is Ron Paul. I'm writing him in - my conscious will be clear. Perpetuation of a facade is not my choice.
