    Clearly, they broke the LAW:

    "Just as the debate began, two third-party presidential candidates purposely crossed a police barricade and were arrested. "

    Ok? The law applies to EVERYONE. So yes, this is indeed the LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE.

    AND - VIOLATERS WILL BE PROSECUTED!!

    So stop with the bs CONJECTURE, Slashdot!!!

    Welcome to America. Your dissenting opinions will not be tolerated. You shall not disrupt the Democrat/Republican/Corporate one-party system.

    Conform and be silent, or be arrested. These are your only options.

  3. The papers had expired by Zeinfeld · · Score: 1, Troll
    Please, read the papers on the Liberaltarians web site. The papers clearly state that they are void unless served on ALL the defendants by 4pm on Friday of the debate. the guy was arrested at 8pm, long after the papers had expired.

    You cannot perform service of expired papers. The judge had in any case set the date of the hearing AFTER the debate on the 12th and set it for exactly one hour.

    Its somewhat sad that the children running slash politics spend all their time printing stories about the minor third party no hoper they support and have not bothered to even post a story on the debates themselves yet?
