I understand your intent but be clear, there was absolutely no civil disobedience here. Dave went to a bookstore, invited by the advertisement of a book signing, and was threatened with arrest by a wingnut thug for not puckering up to suck hannity's ass. Civil disobedience would be something like refusing to leave after the cops told him too. That didn't happen. He was merely excercising his right to be alive and walk into a bookstore. It's insane that america has become this.

  The bookstore is private property.
  They do have the right to ask you to leave.
  You don't have the right to free speech there.

    you should probably read diaries before commenting in them.

      Well still I think my point has some validity.
      
      The guy who calls up and says he is creating a disturbance- does he have any legal issues. No way. A disturbance is a matter of opinion, and the cops can choose to ignore that, or study it further.
      
      And the cops, did they do anything wrong? As the diarist notes, they did nothing wrong.
      
      Going back to my original points, the cops are much more likely to take action if the event is in a private area.

    everything. No public space, no public rights?
