"I can't be sure but I think at the beginning of the tape, they said that the man had not paid to get in." You say you can't be sure, and then you proceed to build your "reasoning" on that.

The man was there legally, he made sure his film unit set up, and then he went about committing the crime of practicing free speech. I suspect he did it as an object lesson, so we can see how things have deteriorated in America. He did everything by the book. He even informed the thugs harrassing him that he had the right to free speech. He also pointed out repeatedly that it was a public place and the security guards had no right to place restrictions on him that they were not placing on others.

When the guard laid his hand on the man, that was assault. And your fellow Alaskans smiled at the proceedings. "You might note they were nervous smiles." What was there to be nervous about except armed thugs (mercenaries) prowling the fairgrounds?

This was a display of lawlessness caught on video. The guards had no right to attack the man, yet they did, lawlessly, and Alaskans sat by and smiled. Shameful. I thought people up there were independent minded, and yet here you are defending the actions of the Gestapo as they thump someone who speaks against der Furher.
