he hadn't broken the law yet. and sure, he knew that he was going to ride a shaky path. but, the point is they arrested him BEFORE he broke the law.

oh and fifty civil disobedients

However still defacing public property. Even though it was possibly side walk chalk it is still a crime.

He knew that the cops would show up and he would be charged with a crime. If not he is pretty stupid.

If this is the argument then by all means they need to start locking up kids who use sidewalk chalk to draw on the street. If it's good enough for the goose it's good enough for the gander right?

yes. it was. as an example for the interview. don't know if he asked permission or not. thing is, the cops didn't seem to know or care that there was chalk on the sidewalk. my guess is they saw it on the teevee and the word went down... GET HIM!

**titmowse** · 08-31-2004, 04:04 PM

but seriously. kids draw on sidewalks with chalk all the time. i can't say i've ever heard of one being arrested/charged for vandalism.

I agree. There are also lots of people who try to get donations for placing art-work on the sidewalks. I don't think a judge could fairly discriminate against someone peacefully protesting with art (messages), and someone drawing images depicting something (messages).

If he were writing right wing messages instead of left wing, these same people in here would be defending him tooth and nail.

They only arrested him because it was political. Its not a crime if its chalk, havent you ever seen kids writing on the sidewalks with it? Ive never seen any of those kids get arrested.

exactly if a child were to write something in chalk in the exact same spot it would have gone unnoticed or no one would question it

How retarted are you people who say "hey is going to deface property", it's CHALK! It washes away. How many of you throw your cigarette butts on the ground after smoking? How many of you pissed outside?

Clearly chalk is not bad to the environment. It's just the republican bastards who manipulate anything and everything so that they are elected. People who vote for Bush are just manipulated idiots.

Serves the bike rider/designer right. I don't know about the rest of you, but to me, the can the officer takes out and examines sure looks like a can of spray paint. Where do you get cans of "spray chalk?"

so A guy excercising his right to free speech on a bicycle is defined as a 'troublemaker'?

*baffled*

think about a society where voicing your displeasure with the government gets you arrested....not a place I want to live.

**ColBigBalls** · 09-02-2004, 12:20 PM

i heard there are areas in NYC right now where your incuraged to go an protest if you like in an atempt to keep it peacefull.

The cops totally fucked that up.

But then again the only reason it was a big deal was because it was political
