re: #89 Jimmah

I found myself very much in agreement with Hitchens take on this:

A Man’s Home Is His Constitutional Castle

Henry Louis Gates Jr. should have taken his stand on the Bill of Rights, not on his epidermis or that of the arresting officer.

[Link: www.slate.com…]

So, when the cops come a-calling, it’s ok to yell and scream at them, call them names, invoke their mothers and be a general asshole because it’s a constitutional right? Gates could have diffused this situation in a few seconds, but he chose to a ultra-jerk. The cops will arrest you if you are verbally abusive to them.
