Can any of you lefties say climategate? Hey if the science is indeed settled, why is it that these climate idiots feel the need to lie and cover up cooling? Then again, when the science is on your side, do you really need to create a spectacle of yourself in a foreign country? Guess this answers all of the questions...the science is not settled just the lies these special education geniuses have created in their offices.

Hey, I thought change was Obama telling us what he'd leave in our paychecks?

Civil disobedience? You mean like the tea parties?

Actually no klifferd, wrong again! The tea parties had no arrests until Andy Stern started sending his union thugs to them.

Every tea party to date has picked up all of the trash and left the area better looking than any of your liberal protesters.

Maybe you don't read the article. Its talking out preemptive arrests. It means your tea bagging buddies who brough guns would be in jail.

It means any one iof yer tea baggers who the police didn't like would have been arrested.

Buddy you are wrong and apparently ok with curbing the right to protest.

Actually you are wrong. At the tea party in question, it was/is legal to carry a holstered fire arm in that state as long as the weapon is in clear view of everyone. So the individual in question could not be arrested. Again, PMSNBC dishonestly led people to believe this was a white guy but it turned out this was a black guy who was wearing the holstered weapon.

The Danes are using common sense. They've seen some of the shinanigans pulled by the left during so-called demonstrations and they decided they are not having it.

Since when is throwing rocks through windows considered free speech? The danes are actually saying we'll let you protest but if I see you with a large rock heading towards a window, I'm gonna arrest you?

You know what I meant. Of course destruction of property isn't considered free speech, but did you just ignore this:

The Danish police also separately issued a statement in August (pdf) applying new rules and regulations for protests at the climate conference, warning that "gatherings that may disturb the public order must not take place".

Disturb the public order? How ambiguous can you get?

The danes are actually saying we'll let you protest but if I see you with a large rock heading towards a window, I'm gonna arrest you?

I didn't get that from the article I read. If you have another that is more clear, I'd love to read it.

To me this sounds like what happened at the RNC in Minneapolis (I think?) where many were arrested for conspiracy to commit riot or some shit like that. You have these bullshit, all-encompassing sort of laws that allow for wide interpretation and arrests before a crime has actually been committed.

Yeah I can understand your concerns. I mean technically speaking a group of people who attend the summit could actually decide to walk to the nearest resturant and get arrested because they were in a group and not necessarily attempting a criminal act. I would have to believe they would have to prove you were up to something instead of honestly walking to go to lunch. I agree with you that it is open ended and readily available for abuse.

I think what they are really looking at is how many times a left lead protest winds up destroying public property, assault, and other things.
