Obama Supporters Call Police Over Questions
Burlington VT, Sept. 21 – This past Sunday, a graduate student in electrical engineering
learned that Fascists are not always goosestepping in uniforms behind tanks; sometimes
they can appear to be innocent little old ladies or soccer moms. Our student, whom we
will refer to as just Brian, approached an Obama campaign table on Church Street here in
Burlington and began to ask questions about Brzezinski's role as advisor to Obama. He
also asked if the Obama supporters knew about how Brzezinski was the architect for the
Mujahideen, a.k.a. Al Qaeda.
The Obama table wanted no discussion whatsoever. In order to set up a table on Church
Street, a group must apply for a permit from the marketplace board. The function of
tabling is to educate the public on issues and allow dialogue. Apparently an open
exchange of ideas did not apply to Obama supporters. After Brian questioned the table
and realized the conversation was closed, he walked away.
Refusing to speak was not enough for the Obama people; they called the police! Two
police officers chased Brian down, ordered him onto the ground. Brian called out for
help, thinking he had committed no crime. The police told him to shut up or he would be
tasered. Brian was handcuffed and taken to jail where he was held for 35 hours. He had to
appear before a judge in shackles and will face a trial by jury in one month for resisting
arrest and disorderly conduct.
The ordeal in jail left Brian visibly shaken and upset. If the arrest wasn't enough, the
Obama campaigners filed a RESTRAINING ORDER which bans him from Church
Street for ONE MONTH! Burlington is a small town, and Church Street is our main
thoroughfare. This is a de facto ban from the town.
