Free Speech In The USA?
71-year-old Taken to the Ground for Questioning Congressman

Video

As Congressman Paul Ryan cracked a joke about him, Tom Nielsen found
himself face down on the floor being handcuffed by police. The
71-year-old retired plumber from Kenosha was thrown to the ground,
placed in handcuffs, and arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest
after objecting to Ryan's plans to gut Social Security and Medicare
during his congressman's only public appearance scheduled during the
August recess -- a $15 Rotary Club luncheon in West Allis on Tuesday.

Nielsen repeatedly told police that he wasn't fighting them and that he
didn't want to make any trouble. He also told them several times that he
had a broken shoulder. Police officers ignored his comments as they
wrestled him to the ground despite his howls of pain.


if he knew he had shoulder problems why is he putting himself in that
situation. he should know that cops are just looking for any
provocation. maybe the pain and anguish he suffered was part of his plot
to gain sympathy and make him look like a hero. free speech, what is
that. get with the program and stop acting stupid and trying to be a
hero. i'm saying whatever i want and no one is beating me up, why is
that. because i'm not stupid and know the place to do it at.
