designated protest zones in wv are out of your jurisdiction

following up on a previous post here about two people arrested for wearing the wrong sorts of t-shirts to hear president bush speak about freedoms on july 4th, the charges have been dismissed.

A judge Thursday dismissed trespassing charges against a couple who wore anti-Bush T-shirts at a July 4 rally for the president at the state Capitol because city ordinances do not apply to Statehouse grounds.

this is clearly an oversight with huge repercussions. someone at the white house didn’t do their homework. you need state police to enforce the tresspassing laws. i think there should be an investigation. just imagine the consequences of president bush realized just how unhappy some of his “united” america is. we simply cannot have loopholes like this used by protesters. loopholes are only for the department of justice.
