Ray, if everyone is sitting and people stand up to turn their backs, they are blocking the view of those behind, who are perfectly entitled to see and listen to proceedings without others stopping them. That's disruptive and aggressive. It's reasonable to remove people for doing that.

If they wanted to protest, they could have all agreed to bow their heads in unison. That would not disrupt proceedings but would still show the level of support for their point of view, without blocking other people's points of view.

Maybe I've misunderstood what happened, as I'm just on a flying visit here.... <When the moment arrived, he stood and turned his back on Bush. Before he could assess how many others around him were doing the same, he was hustled out of the stadium by a Columbus police officer and a Secret Service agent. >
