Play by the rules, just like everyone else.

New York’s very own liberal rag, The Village Voice reports: “Cindy Sheehan may be the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement. But that didn’t stop members of the New York Police Department from marching into the crowd of about 150 people gathered in Union Square Monday to hear her speak and yanking away the microphone.”

“Police dragged away Paul Zulkowitz, a.k.a. Zool, an organizer with “Camp Casey NYC,” the small encampment that he and other activists set up a month ago in Union Square in solidarity with Sheehan’s vigil outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. The New York branch existed much to the ire of the city’s Parks Department. Today, Zulkowitz was arrested for failing to obtain a sound permit–a charge that normally warrants no more than a summons.”

So, let consider the facts. First, Zulkowitz and his band of Sheehanites set up an “encampment” in a public park, without permit and without regard for others. Imagine if everyone set up a camp. In San Francisco, we call that the homeless. A public park means it’s for everyone, and not for taking up residence. Yet, the NYPD tolerated it.

Today, in what some might call chutzpah, Zulkowitz mouths off to police over his own failure to obtain a sound permit and, instead, he and Sheehan incite the audience to antagonize the officers.

Anti-war.com is encouraging police harrassment.

What does that say about the movement? No rules, and no respect for rule of law.

It’s called anarchy.

Hard-Talk has some hard language for Cindy.
