According to the YouTube Desription
For the past year the NYPD has been harassing people doing Free Hugs in Time Square. On Friday, June 10, 2011 at about 11:00 Solomon Seagal was arrested when a couple tourists asked to buy a Free Hugs button. He was held for over 36 hours without seeing a lawyer and accused of vending without a license. THIS WILL NOT STAND!
The NYPD has been harassing people doing Free Hugs. They tell us to leave, not to hold signs up. Several people have been arrested and charged with blocking traffic and disorderly conduct. THE NYPD IS TRYING TO SCARE US OUT OF TIME SQUARE!
If this bothers you at all you will spread this video so more people can see it and see the injustice that is happening here every day! If you can also write to the NYPD and tell them you do not accept their behavior and will not tolerate it!
Thanks for sharing Rob. This is so redic.
At PorcFest last week (http://porcfest.com) there were a few people walking around giving free hugs – maybe we should do some outreach to Seagal to inform him of the safe hugging zone there…
Well, for all we know, the terrorists could be spreading ebola with hugs.
Or maybe they’re spreading homosexuality and the brave officers of NYPD are putting their sexual orientation on the line to stop these evil huggers.
In fact, people shouldn’t even be allowed to touch in public.
That could lead to making physical and emotional connections with people. People might start having sympathy and compassion for each other and we just CANNOT have that.
People should be in a constant state of fear, so that they will willingly follow any and all orders given to them by the infallible men and women of the mighty Police Department.
Don’t you feel safer when all your decisions are made for you?
The cops are always glad to give you a free love hug. It comes in several iterations; the half nelson, full nelson and choke hold.
More craziness from the leviathan. No wonder NY is the least free state in our dying republic.
This is what started all of the trouble in North Africa: requiring a permit to feed your family. It’s time for a revolution, as I will not anyone tell me that I cannot support my family.
Why don’t you morons just follow the law and get permits to give out your free hugs? If you filed for permits like law abiding people do, you would have no problem. However, you just want to provoke the police. That’s it, you just want to cause problems- grow up
I wonder if he made the case that he was accepting donations (of any amount), and the button was a “Thank You” gift. Either way, the license thing is bullshit, and a fundamental level, but that’s what happens (a requirement) when you are owned by the State.
I wonder if people who do yard sales need vender licenses.
BOBO
Will I need to fill for permit to fart like law abiding citizen if states requires so?
Icek, yes, I’m sure BOB wants you to get a permit (and pay for it) for anything he, personally, doesn’t like.
After all, I’m sure the police were “just doing their job.”
The cops have absolutely nothing to fucking do.
“A holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown [. . .] in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.”- Charles Cornwallis.Welcome to the New World Order
