The video spins this as a terrible abuse of freedom of speech, but the guy may have been at risk of being torn limb from limb. Being charitable to the cops, they may simply have been trying to get him out of there before they had to go in and rescue his sorry ass.

Both those idiots knew what they were doing.
Guy goes out to film the post election celebrations talking about the rise of an “Obama corps” and the quashing of American freedoms and just happens to run into another guy who’s “freedoms were being quashed”.
Gimme a break here: It’s one thing to want your guy to win, its another to fully support your guy despite the utter and complete assault on common decency, respect-for-ones-adversaries and reason his campaign was(let’s not even go into his awful decision making and that troglodyte from Alaska). But acting like a child after he loses and pretending(or believing in some cases, but still as absurd, as the belief isn’t based on logic) that Obama’s election will usher in the collapse of American society is just too fucking much for me to take.
Anyone with an ounce of skepticism can see that these guys were obviously out to provoke some ridiculousness to catch on film in order to fuel the fire of their own ridiculous “Obama won – the sky is falling” movement. This idiot walks into a crowd of (very likely drunk) Obama supporters wearing a McCain-Palin t-shirt, with what could be confused by the inebriated revelers as the hilt of a sword sticking out the back of his shirt and you want to tell me he wasn’t looking to stir up something. As robert61 said the cops were saving his ass.
Exactly Robert61!!!
Those cops were practicing damage control. They probably didn’t want to be sued for looking away if this dude would have gotten a mud hole stomped into him for excercising free speech. I did not know free speech also meant losing all common sense. It would have been the same as my black azz rockin Obama gear in the middle of a croud at Mccains Concession speech as they booed the mere mention of Obama’s name. People don’t understand that we are not free as we think we are, under either party. The laws are there, but they are limited by the power to uphold or enforce them.
Also, his video dude wants to put a NWO police state spin on the whole video, well you could easily say the same thing about the Bush administration that brought in Homeland security and the Patriot act, which can nullify your freedom of speech at will. I think really, either way it went, there would have been some parading in the street, or some party somewhere, for the “winning party”, and some pissed off dumbass of the “losing party” would have tried to prove a point of the evils of the “winning party” and how the American people Fucked up the election by inciting the otherwise happy supporters to unecessary wrath. Some people just can’t let it go I suppose.
We’ve had eight years of shitty Republican policy. Let us now try the other side again…..because Americans are still too complacent to get rid of BOTH parties and elect something TRULY new.
Sometime ago, some dude had on a yankees skull cap (if thats what they call it) and walked into a boston red sox celebration party such as this dude walking into obama supporters. he was attacked by the masses (not so violently) in comparison this dude was lucky. the police arrested him for civil unrest for inciting a riot. whoever this dude is who did this recording only sampled a minimal amount of people if at all this satisfy anything significant.
