as long as you don't obstruct business

Are you really going to say he wasn't obstructing business? That's what he was trying to do.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
I don't believe anyone said he was obstructing business at all. He was arguing with the marine recruiter. It is as much an obstruction to business as the marine recruiter telling people to join the military.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

I didn't say that the cops acted correctly. I'm stating that your brother didn't. Why this insistance on putting words in my mouth?Comment

My sympathies to you for your loss, Lorizael.
Not putting the cuffs on right isn't the only thing the cop did wrong.the rest of the story:
I say the cop and brother both get a slap on the wrist and then everyone buries the story.
The brother, for aggrivating the situation, and the cop for not putting the cuffs on right. Everyone wins.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Inference. You haven't said anything about the cops till now. All you've done is bad mouth my brother.Originally posted by JohnT

And, yes, my apologies for not expressing sympathy for your loss, Lor. My father in law died two weeks ago and these things are always hard. Was your brother close to your grandmother?Comment

I didn't bad mouth your brother. I bad mouthed his behaviour as described. You didn't exactly do him justice in your OP, either.Originally posted by Lorizael

My brother is ecstatic. He rushes down there to go make a scene.Comment

Don't apologize. I didn't request it. But thank you anyhow. My brother definitely had a much stronger bond with my grandmother than with anyone else in the extended family. But I wouldn't say they were close.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Some sort of thing should have been worked out between him and the Marines, but this seems more like a spontanious thing. He wasn't intentionally going there to obstruct, only to talk to Marines.Originally posted by DanS

Wasn't trying to. I don't agree with what he did. But I think that what the police officer did was far worse because the police officer is supposed to be the good guy.Originally posted by JohnT

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Certainly he was trying to get people's attention, but he attempted to do it in a peaceful manner. He didn't go up there are just start insulting the marine corp. In fact, he only talked to people that talked to him first. If people walked away and didn't want to listen to him, he let them.Originally posted by Kidicious

Being mannered compels me to apologize for my lapse of manners in that regard. An apology is never sincere if it comes as a result of a request.Originally posted by Lorizael
