you are Offended for a blocked street , but let me tell you about this eldery person, he is protesting of the stupid invasion of iraq ( bush lies about Wepaons of mass destruction) and the 4000 Dead us soldiers , and 1.2 millions dead iraqis and the bankrupt country.

I wonder who should be arrested?

I'm not offended by a blocked street... I'm not offended by an elderly person, along with the 20 others, that got arrested for breaking the law. If Bush gets found guilty by a Court of Law, a jury of his peers, or gets charged by Congress, then he is at fault... I see it as a very black and white when it comes to these matters... you can make all of the allegations you want... until its proven, thats all they are.

its a wonder he was not taken away in the middle of the night with secret charges so secret he could not be told. And then declared a terrorist.

You mean you are one of those 28% that support Bush and his war!
Wake up people!
We have invaded wrongfully a country , time to get out ,and let them be.

What does supporting the war have to do with someone breaking the law?

Support Bush? please, I havn't supported most of what Bush has done...

And I would have supported the invasion if Clinton had done it.

In almost every county/city jurisdiction it is a misdemeanor to block access to or through any public street or intersection. What if an emergency vehicle needed to get through on the way to a response? That's the main concern in a matter such as this. It doesn't matter if they are protesting against the war, for the war... It doesn't matter if they are protesting at all. There is no difference between a group of elderly men and a group of gangbangers (unarmed of course) blocking the road. Their message is irrelevant. They are breaking the law, and the police officer has to be impartial in the application of justice, which he was. Does the old man pose a security threat? Probably not, but he broke a law regardless. That group is lucky that they didn't block any emergency traffic (fire truck, ambulance, police going to a different call) coming through or their charges would be bumped up to a felony, atleast in my state.
