"caught breaching a security perimeter." at any "special event of national significance"

I would hope that anyone that doing this would be nabbed.

Currently, non-violent demonstrators who enter restricted areas at such events previously would be arrested and charged by local law enforcement with simple trespassing, said Graves. Under the provision included in the new law, they will be charged with felonies by the Secret Service.

Yes they should be nabbed.
but a felony?

during a time of war, you betcha.

Like the war on drugs!

dumb

"Up the revolution!"

hoh-hum- great thread and a very important topic that the media is to scared to touch(more proof that their is no such thing as "the leftist media")

right now its a misdemeanor and the security perimiter is set as anyone within sight of the president....bush is the first president to make it illegal to protest him within his sight......the reason that they want to make it a felony is to take away the voting rights of the individual....and for you second ammendment fans- its also to make sure that anyone who protests bush within sight can be charged with a felony to preclude them from being able to excersice their rights to bear arms

papaslap-we are not at war

not at war

what are we calling this?

An act of terrorism. Have you ever noticed that no body calls it the Israeli-Palestinain war. And far more people have died there. Bush wants this called a war because he wants to be known as a Comander in Chef.

Papaslap,

Are you one of the remaining who actually believes there is a connection between 9/11 and our invasion of Iraq? It's amazing that there's no shortage of small thinkers in the U.S.

Papaslap,
I believe Lupo is correct in his analysis of the motivations behind the proposed dissent policy.It sounds like something Hitler and the Nazis put in place in the 1930s.

And I don't consider us at war either, never have since day one, what's that, 9/11? 9/11 ain't squat compared with the rest of the killing going on. Get over it.

"get over it"? you *******s! Tell that to those that have died at the hands of terrorist...I should have known better than entering this pool full of .............

and now 2,400+ dead soldiers, 30,000+ dead Iraqi civilians....the killing goes on and on because of a lie while the perpetrators are still on the loose in another country...tell that to those that died on 09/11. Some just want blood and don't care where it comes from.

Papaslap, what you demonstrated was a lack of willingness to enter into a level headed conversation. Has anyone else ever noticed that liberals will at least try to talk about issures. But conservitives just start throwing insults.

What bothers you isn't so much how may died. It's that they had the nerve to do it to us.

Come on BW be serious.

"Has anyone else ever noticed that liberals will at least try to talk about issures. But conservitives just start throwing insults."

All you need to do is check out some of your own posts.

Do you need special glasses to see the liberal posts?

Sort of proves the point....

What that you will not admit the truth? That liberal and conservative alike in this forum are equally guilty? Yourself included. comeon BW man up and admit it.
