YAL and the SWAT team

[Lloyd Danforth]

Can't say I've ever heard of YAL but this is interesting.

Young American's for Liberty (YAL) and the SWAT team confrontation
Yep. it's inflamatory headlines time. the YAL sent the following message out this afternoon. kids, ya' didn't know you needed a permit? hmm... pretty standard for protesting on the national mall in D.C. i agree that according to the constitution you shouldn't need it - free speech et al - but come on... donate to folks who fell off the turnip truck? what exactly were you being taught in these classrooms at the convention?

I'm sitting in the back of the classroom on the final day of the YAL National Convention, and I couldn't wait any longer to get this YouTube video out to you.

Yesterday, YAL Events Director, Trevor Leach, and our top youth activists demonstrated on the Washington, DC, National Mall to collect petitions in opposition of Obama's government takeover of health-care.

It wasn't long until a SWAT team in an armored truck threatened Trevor and our youth activists declaring, "There are two options. Disassemble and leave. Or y'all are going to jail."

"You don't have free speech," the sergeant told Trevor.

Fortunately, our youth activists video taped the entire confrontation and stayed up all night to produce this video footage.

Be prepared to be shocked, appalled, and a little angry at the actions of our public servants who swore to uphold the U.S. Constitution.

After you watch this video, please do me a favor. Click here and donate generously to support these youth activists and advance their continuous efforts.

The new magic scroll nullifies the old magic scroll, apparently.  It's all there in black and white.  No gray matter involved.

Hey, don't blame Swat 886.  Bullies need jobs, too!!!

Ok don't this troublemakers know anything... they need to organize, wait for the next election cycle, and vote! Then politely resign themselves to the fact that their guy lost. [sarcasm]

He even threw out the obligatory, "I'm just doing my job."

How disgusting.

YAL grew out of the Ron Paul campaign.

The District is the exclusive domain of the US Congress. They can and do anything they want there.

The Bill of Rights does not apply there. Privileges and Immunities Kids. Get back to where you once belonged (a freely associated compact state) if you want to exercise your unalienable rights.
