As I indicated the last time I posted on this theme, there are varying degrees of fascism, ranging from comical to dangerous. This item shows the type of petty oppression that comes with giving a fallen human being "authority".
Like a number of people without a ticket to the Nationals' game Sunday, Mark Butler stood outside the left field gate and watched some of the historic event from a distance. The Minnesota man carried a digital camera to capture the memories. For a member of the Uniformed Division of United States Secret Service, Butler captured too much.And just what did this representative of the Schutzstaffel DO about it?
Butler said the officer demanded he delete any pictures that showed the security checkpoints set up to screen fans for the visit by President George Bush.Uh huh. And by what authority did this ArschlochenFührer make that demand?
When specifically asked about the legality of ordering someone to delete pictures Wiley answered, "We have the authority to ask them to remove the picture from the camera."REEEEEEEEALLY? And just WHERE in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Official Code of the District of Columbia, or -- gee, I don't know, from his ASS maybe? -- did the putz get the idea that he could exercise this kind of coercion against an American citizen?
Is there someone out there who wants to defend this? I'm dying to know.
