People keep saying that he's hogging the mic and thats why he's asked to leave but judging by the video, the first police officer asks him to stop no more than 30 seconds after he began. 30 seconds is not exactly hogging the mic, and his question was never answered.

Also as for people saying he isn't following the rules of the public forum by asking questions without giving Kerry a chance to answer, it has been my experience that in those situations you get one chance to ask questions and once the speaker answers you don't get to ask another one, so it is likely he was trying to get all his questions in during his turn to talk.

Regardless, he was arrested and then detained without cause (as far as I know, being a dick is not grounds for arrest).

That guy was acting like an idiot. And I agree with Universal that the cops could of handled it better, but that guy was just obnoxious. Also, the secret societys stuff is just stupid. It doesn't matter that they were both in Skull and Bones. The two party system is terrible and all, but the guy got what he deserved.

I have always hated everything you have to say, and think you are an extreme liberal hippy. Perhaps you're too open minded. Just thought I'd express my freedom of speech.

and his question was never answered because he answered them with his own opinions lol. and it wasnt really a public forum, that's just what they want you to think. He was disturbing the peace and resisting arrest/detainment, thats grounds for arrest.
