Best of July 4th to you and all. There are still some judges left to enforce common sense laws. -J6P Still have freedom in Philly. Get me a Philly cheese steak with a side of freedom and a beer. Want to guess how the Manhattan arrest will work out ? ************************ Man acquitted for loud park singing Tue Jul 3, 5:02 PM ET PHILADELPHIA - A man was acquitted Tuesday after being arrested for refusing to heed a police officer's command he stop singing in a public park. A judge found Anthony Riley not guilty of disorderly conduct, saying "This is America, not Afghanistan."

So what's the consequence for the bully who threw his weight around, hiding behind his badge? <Witnesses testified that Riley had asked Wilkinson what the law was restricting him from singing in the park. Wilkinson responded that he was the law. When Riley asked Wilkinson whether he was still in America, Wilkinson replied "this is Afghanistan," according to witnesses.> Freedom is a thin line. My father's cousin was imprisoned for speaking against WWII [at the time], having been a WWI decorated hero. Free speech was NOT allowed. Which makes me think my father was wasting his time volunteering to go to the Middle East for 4 years to fight Hitler's forces to defend France and Britain. Being undermined by some scummy judge at home, sitting comfy and over-paid at home while he lived in a tent with shells exploding around. Then Britain booted NZ out, joined the EU including Germany and France conducted a terrorist attack on the Rainbow Warrior in my own harbour. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Mqurice
