Should i move this now or wait for the peaceful civil disobedience to start?

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Of course I agree with everything Kluwe says here, but I'm not so sure he was arrested for his speech. If he was, that's obviously horrifying. But there's a cut in the video and I suspect he was arrested for either approaching the bench or sitting or lying down in front of it, which is a common act of civil disobedience.

Maybe he planned on acting physically menacing to get arrested and bring attention to himself.

Punters can be pretty intimidating.

Yeah, he was aggressively and quickly walking toward the council, I think the cops weren't sure what he had in mind.

Well I don't think they had to worry about him kicking anybody in the nuts!

I keep my circle quite small. People suck big time. Dogs, haven’t met a bad one yet.
