Than followed a link they had to the Progressive story.
Wanting to find out abit more I ran a Google and hit on the Chaplains posting at Freepress.
Now who do you think is in the Right here?
Or do I really need to ask!
From MoJo Blog:
Ohio Man Arrested After He and His Wife Protest Military Recruiters In Library
Tim Coil is a Gulf War veteran with PTSD. In early March, he and his wife visited the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library in Ohio so that his wife, Yvette, could study for a test and he could do some reading.
From Progessive.org:
Vet Prosecuted for Opposing Recruitment in Library
His wife was putting up 3x5 cards on the window of the room used by the recruiters.
“Don’t fall for it! Military recruiters lie,” said one.
“It’s not honorable to fight for a lying President,” said another.
Then the police came.
“My husband said that the library was a public place and we are allowed our freedom of speech,” Coil says. “The director said it was his library, and so we would have to follow his rules.”
On May 10, Yvette Coil says that her lawyer was advised that the state would drop charges if they would pay $100 in court fees.
“Tim said he should not have to pay for being harassed,” says Yvette. “No one has the right to take your freedoms away.”
The case is scheduled for June 5.
