get out of here

I find this humorous.

This weekend, my brother and his good friend, a firefighter, went a meeting of the republicans in their city. They had recieved the tickets for free from the fire department and decided it would be at least an interesting experience.

Before sitting down, they were looking around at the stands that were set up selling Bush gear. There was a sales woman, like many, trying to get them to buy a shirt. They said no twice, and she continued. (I'm not ripping on her because I know she was just doing her job.) Upon a third attempt to get them to buy a shirt, my brother said in frustration, "There is no fucking way I'm going to buy a shirt that says Bush on it." They proceeded to walk away, find their seats, and sit down.

Fifteen minutes later, 4 police and one other official came and escorted them out of the building. Of course, my brother asked why they were not allowed to stay. The response was "You two look conspicuous."

Conspicuous? Right....They got kicked out for lipping off to the sales lady.

My brother (and his friends) don't take things like this lightly.

They walked around the area until they found the anti-Bush demonstrators, which was about people with signs. They explained what had happened and lead the group back to the building, where they marched around and around it. I can't help but feel proud...(he is my little brother).

Did you purchase the ticket, or was it given to you as you originally said?

You seem smart. I'm sure that you are aware of the droves of anti-Bush protesters that have been trying to weasel into every Bush event in the last year. You try and sound so innocent about it, but you understand the behavior that provokes the reaction you received. Why not be balanced and condemn people that make the Republicans have to be that wary?

We both know why, don't we?

jesusstayscrunchy: Feel free to call me a hypocrite the next time you seem me complain about Democrats mistreating Republicans at their events. Feel free to go back and check everything I have written and check and see if this really is a double standard. I could go on with the "Feel free to..." stuff, but it would suddenly get way off-topic...

Bakerstreet: The ticket was purchased for me by a friends parents, so yes the ticket was purchased for me just not by me. I do condemn people that act atrociously at a Bush rally. But in fact, I am not one of those people, so it is fair to say that I was mistreated.

BS
but I don't think you were abused needlessly

Are you suggesting that there is ever a time that abuse is needed? That's creepy.
