Anti-Bush Protesters Prosecuted for ?Unauthorized Display of Sign?

12-07-2007, 11:02 AM

Jeff Zurawski and Sarah Hartfield had never even gone to a political demonstration before this year. But because they were outraged by Bush?s war, they went to Washington a couple of times and to Camp Casey once.

When they returned to their homes in DuPage County, Illinois, this spring, they decided to try to wake up their fellow citizens.

And so on May 6th, they went out onto the bridge over the North-South Highway and held a banner that said, ?IMPEACH Bush and Cheney?LIARS.? They also displayed a flag upside down.

?If I had the money to buy a billboard, I would but I don?t,? says Zurawski, a home inspector. ?So that?s what I came up with.?

They were there for about an hour and a half when a state trooper pulled up.

I hear you, but that is illegal no matter what the sign said.

See it works like this : "They didn't pay anybody so it is illegal".

If they were from a backwards hick place like DeKalb county they should have known what to expect by displaying a sign calling our Commander in Chief a liar and flying the flag upside down. Might as well have made a sign that said "Fuck Jesus" while they were at it. I'm surprised they didn't get thrown off the overpass.

Unvaxxed, still alive.

Ugh, I can't believe the USA has come to this. and Naperville IL even. I know a lot of the cops there, guess it time to make a call and make some pigs feel real small.

GWB is a good guy, but the protesters deserve a right to be heard.

"Illegal sign" ordinances were designed to control commercial speech --not political speech (usually referred to as "free speech.")

If you are going to protest, be sure to not be ignorant of laws while doing so.

Mean while 2 guys got shot, countless drug deals went down, 3 daughters and two mothers, plus, one grandmother was raped.

Nice...

Way to pick your battles.

That angry cop/war vet should be fired, an upside down flag might piss him off but he doesn't have a right to do anything about it.

too bad so sad , hanging shit on overpasses is illegal it always has been.

Theres a reason for it , it's dangerous to everyone else.

They took down signs honouring troops too.

I'm all for free speech , but not when it compromises my safety.

thats total bullshit.

you can't hang shit off a bridge over a highway.. period. has nothing to do with what the sign says.

some of you other guys are so full of hate for Bush that you have lost all sense of reason. but please... go make a 20 ton steel sign with covered with spikes and broken glass and hang it off the bridge and use the argument "hey, this is protected speech and you have no right to tell me what kind of uninspected, unregulated, unsafe shit i can suspend over a busy freeway"

forget your political bias and total hatred for the US a moment.. or even the fact that you have no place in commenting on the article to begin with which is a far left website, citing no source other than two potestors and only giving 1/2 of the story. and lets forget the fact for a moment that these two anti-war protesters who unsprisingly add suspiciously colorful details like “He was clenching his teeth, and his veins were bulging out, and he was red-faced,” are intended to incite people like you to begin with and be reasonable.

its a bridge.

over a freeway.

2 large items

2 people

only 4 arms

the flag was "displayed" and the banner was "held"

he later says "they asked us to take the banner down" - "take it down" is not what you do when you are holding something, which indicates that most likely they are either lying or they did "hold" the banner and later hung it from the bridge.

circumstances?

how big were the banners? the flag? was it dangerous? any pics?

well... no one here knows... and as usual, no one here cares about the actual facts.

regardless of what anyone thinks or WANTS to believe. there are laws against this. its not "protected speech" ... and to use anyones logic in defending it, it means i can write "impeach bush" on a baby and dangle it over the freeway and calll it "protected speech"... oh wait, can't do that? why not? you mean laws and legality might come into play? but.. but...

Thank you for a logical , well thought out post that has some basis in reality. You should probably considering posting on some other BBS as this type of commentary does not do well here.

get off his dick ....

Zurawski said they took down the flag and banner, but when they were about to leave three DuPage county sheriff's deputies
showed up - one of them with a chip on his shoulder.

"The first words out of his mouth were that he got a report that we were
throwing things from the bridge," Zurawski said. When he and Hartfield denied
the allegation, the deputy took issue with the upside-down flag.

"His face got blood red," Hartfield said. "He was yelling that he was a veteran and we were disrespecting his son who was in Afghanistan ..

You know NOTHING about me, my political leanings, education nothing so what figures?

If something is asked to be taken down, per that article then that means it was hung. I find it amazing you can work in this business and yet you highlight those descriptive phrases as if they are fact, for once pull your head out of your ass

you do "hate this administration" and thats obvious and can't be denied.

however, just like with the remark above... you go WAAAAAAAY beyond "the administration" and fall back on that position when you get backed into a corner for your non-stop attacks about anything and everything "US" and like webby, you tend to show up anywhere and anywhere you see the chance to attack a country, its entire population and ironically, even those that fervantly agree with you.

It's a little ironic. "you guys still hate France" - more or less refers to inbred idiots who would say "yes" and something which would highlight and irrationanl behavior.

BUT YOU are no more rational, no more reasonable and no more logical. In fact, you are the other side of that same coin.

I love freedom of speach. It allows the unintelligent to expose themselves as witnessed by your post.

You want to protest? do it somewhere where safe. Hanging shit off a bridge is dangerous and disruptive.
They should have been clubbed off the bridge.

I posted this on another thread recently, I think it bears repeating now

****************************************
The ignore feature is very useful and certainly made for people like Greywolf/Webby and Fiesta.

Basically all of their thousands of posts are a variant of the following:

-America Sucks
-Bush is a dictator and an Idiot
-Our Military are babykillers and and obviously to are too dumb know what they got into
-There is no terrorism problem....the Islamo-Nazis are simply mis-understood "freedom fighters"
-And just to remind us how clever and witty their repetitive and boring posts are, they always include some of these ""

I've always suspected that Webby and Fiesta were siamese twins who were separated at birth; each left with less than half a brain and no testicles. They've got no real-world expertise or special educational background in geo-politics, economics, or military matters.. yet they happily re-gurgitate what their favorite, uninformed, left wing, anti-american, socialist website has to say as fact. They are two bitter old men who have made a career on GFY of whining and bitching about someone elses country. When asked a direct question about themselves, you'll never get a direct answer.
