@TexasObserver it is interesting that the US has all these rights built in to the constitution and acts of congress to uphold the individuals rights yet some administrator can send in the cops to trample those rights and the people who call the shots never seem to be penalised.

@Lats "interesting" is definitely one way to describe it! you're spot on, though.
