This sort of thing is why physical and visual proof of unity are needed! No one dares act alone!  www.unitedforfreeagency.com

 Observers at that event should have physically done something to help that man! It is absolutely disgusting to see such a thing happen! At some point, physical action is required against these authoritarian types!

If THIS means that free speech is dead, then it died a LONG TIME ago.  I was arrested and hauled to jail in Huron, South Dakota, at the South Dakota State Fair in 2002 simply for asking why the debate for the US House of Representatives seat at the Fair did not include all three certified candidates and not just the Republican (at the time, the serving state governor) and the Democrat (now the current Representative for South Dakota).  I was later convicted of "disobeying the instructions of a state employee" (a city cop hired by the state fair board for security duties at the fair) and my sons were evicted from the fairgrounds even though we had a paid booth.  If free speech is dead in Alaska in 2010, it was dead in the Lower 48 at least eight years ago.

Aren't they supposed to be brown shirts?
