Hang him!

A West Virginia eighth-grader who was suspended from school for refusing to change his National Rifle Association T-shirt faces up to one year in jail and a $500 fine after being formally charged with obstructing an officer.
Jared Marcum, 14, appeared before a judge Monday and was hit with formal charges that carry a maximum $500 fine and up to a year in jail.  The Logan County Police Department initially claimed that Marcum was arrested April 18 for disturbing the education process and obstructing an officer. His father said that officers even went as far as threatening to charge Jared with making terror threats.
"In my view of the facts, Jared didn't do anything wrong," Ben White, Jared's attorney told WTRF.  "I think officer Adkins could have done something differently."
Arresting officer James Adkins claimed that Marcum’s refusal to talk obstructed his ability to do his job, while White argued that Adkins never made reference to any violent acts or threats in his petition.

Oh jeez.

How would Thomas Paine have managed in today's PC world?

Well, I guess he could have published at Wolfeboro's Stalinist forum with BigE's approval...

Let's face it News Buzz, there's no real debate here, it's just a place for frustrated TEA-baggers to vent!!!!
And there's obviously no admin either because the  posting glitches haven't been solved....it's just a few unhappy folks bitching because they are powerless.

We're enjoying it NP.

Enjoying the powerless venting, WHL? It appears that many in Congress have joined you!

"Moderators" hanged Thomas Paine—who sought Justice in an unrelenting environment of aggressive Tyrannical powers.

Too bad he had only one life...

That makes a lot of sense!

:D:DTyrannical blah blah blah....the ranting & raving (complete w/ cartoons) only makes you look silly, why not argue your points in a sensible manner?

It will never make sense to anyone that doesn't remember high school history, nor to those that refuse civilized communications.
.

Thanks, you made my point again.

No I didn't ... you did! Na na na na nah!

Fsh, you didn't keep the last avatar long.  I kind of liked it.  I was still figuring out it's significance and you took it away.

Oh, it's back!

I'm sick of this administration monkeying around with America!

That's not all of it.

So who was it, that hanged Thomas Paine?
 

 
If not those who seek the power to moderate the free expression of speech and ideas?
 

There's a reason for the 1st Amendment—and you don't have to know who Thomas Paine was, or why he wrote.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”
 
― Thomas Paine, The American Crisis     

Fsh, you didn't keep the last avatar long.  I kind of liked it.  I was still figuring out it's significance and you took it away. Oh, it's back!

1) WHL needs a signature.

2) Yes, he's monkeying-around with our Republic's existential future, but an avatar with President Erkel would be more appropriate.

Did I do thaat?

In my best nasally whine.
