This is almost too spine-tingling to share. I commend the bravery of Rick Leventhal for standing up to these individuals.

Here’s the video…

Much better…

But, still… you have to stop and wonder about what was actually going on. This probably smelled newsworthy, at first. At least, Fox News picked up on it. Too bad it didn’t turn out that way.

As for the guy with the shaky cell phone video goes… I have to say, what a coward! As an American, I find this embarrassing. I thought the whole idea of Freedom and Democracy was somehow linked to some past notion of true courage and the strength to stand up!  Indomitable Will, Truth, and Justice!

Here we have massive FAIL! “I have a camera phone, which is not a weapon… in case you didn’t notice.”

Todays lesson:

True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!
