DeSantis just had a citizen arrested for peacefully attempting to observe presser in a public building

i disagree with any American citizen being arrested for wanting to speak to elected officials ... that being said how do you know the governor himself ordered the arrest ?
Who's in charge of making arrests at that location?
 
The old man was there to get press coverage. He got it. DeSantis wouldn't have had a chance to respond to the old man had he been allowed to stay. He wasn't there to explain anything or have dialogue. He was there to raise hell at a Republican governor who has the spine to his ilk in their place.
How do you know this?
 
He was trespassing and refusing to leave, at that point he was arrested. He was a peaceful protester and I admire that, he got his point across. Getting arrested as a peaceful protester happens and like in the late 60's and early 70's many went to jail for their beliefs. He is a man who earned respect.
How was he trespassing? Please explain.
 
"The purpose of an official press conference is for credentialed media to cover information from the governor’s office and state leaders that is important for the public to hear. Press conferences are not “private events,” because members of the press can RSVP and attend, and they broadcast the press conference to the public.

The protester detained by Jacksonville police for trespassing this morning is not a member of the press. Mr. Frazier is an activist who has disrupted official proceedings several times before, including a State Board of Education meeting and a City Council meeting that was forced to adjourn early due to his disruptive behavior."


What about school board meetings, and them being interrupted by non-parents and people from out of town for political purposes?

Does your principle still stand?
 
Was this citizen in the governor's office? Or was he on public property?
It doesn't matter, you can still trespass on property owned by the public. This was press conference, open only to folks with press creds, not to the general public. He was asked, nicely, repeatedly to leave and would not....
 
Hmmm, so without any other information, we have to draw a conclusion from a biased source? Is that what we do now? :rolleyes-41:
Welcome to the world of how Democrats get their news.

They're a fascist cult which projects their cult of fascism on others.

Got a link to that happening?


does yours, when a 'peaceful protest' turns into a riot?

Like, St Lous, Baltimore, Portland, etc?
