Turns out the law says you can't arrest someone for making a public
disturbance in his own home... That means Gates shouldn't have been
arrested no matter how ****y or derogatory the statements he made to
the police officer. Nor, should the police have entered the house at
all without probable cause, which was not established.

Say what? Where are you a judge? Where did you graduate law school?

Probable cause was there .... where the facts and evidence would lead a
prudent and reasonable man to conclude a crime had taken place or was to
take place. The neighbor witnessed him busting down his own door, but
didn't recognize him. Thus, I would conclude that the person seen busting
down the door was not the owner.

And that poor neighbor. Now being put through the mill. Just to teach
everyone that if you mess with Big Purple Lips, you will get run through
also.

Having them both over for beer this evening? I would have told Obama that I
would be over AFTER he made a public apology to every PO in the world.

But that's just me, yer honor.
