That people come out into public to protest and then can't handle when they encounter folks who peaceably disagree. Absolutely pathetic. <br /><br />And that cop is asinine. Yeah, he is right that you -- a person who disagrees with these protesters -- is being somewhat provocative by your very presence. But all parties have a right to vocally protest and argue. And that cop is not protecting those rights. I'd be more upset with the cop than the idiot who grabbed your camera.

And that guy who recorded the building and grounds maintenance workers removing stickers at the Capitol was your husband, eh? The annoying sod who was pestering the guys trying to do their jobs, asking infuriatingly clueless and stupid questions? Do you subject your law students to these crappy videos? I would want my tuition money back. This stuff reminds me of those other lawsuit trollers doing their open-carry demonstration at the Culver's. And to think you are a law professor.

1. Why would ...I don't understand any of this:<br /><br />1. Why would a policeman threaten to arrest a man for stopping an assault against his mother? How could it have been Chris's legal obligation to let his mother continue to be assaulted?<br /><br />1a. Aren't there Good Samaritan laws where if you <i>don't</i> help someone being assaulted you can be arrested? I have no idea if such laws are in the books in Wisconsin, but the very fact that such laws exist elsewhere in the United States forces me to ask: how could it be the case that going to <i>anyone's</i> assistance is a crime?<br /><br />2. Professor Althouse, why in the world did you not want that man arrested? You know he's going to assault some other woman at some point, and the next woman may not have two guys around to defend her.<br /><br />2a. Why didn't anyone place that guy under citizen's arrest? I know as much about Wisconsin's citizen's arrest clauses as I do about its Good Samaritan laws (or lack thereof). But if someone is <i>assaulted</i> wouldn't that be the time to say, "That's it, I'm placing you under citizen's arrest"?Jim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15538540873375357030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-8558861526027186952011-08-14T15:17:42.127-05:002011-08-14T15:17:42.127-05:00Assaulted!
