Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell has Ronny Reeferseed Arrested at Austin City Council

[saxster]

Free Speech is Free Speech. I think Ronnie just showed us all how quickly that can be stripped away under the weakest of pretense.

[alrui]

The "Mayor" is your typical power mad putz! The people need to be sure he's gone next election!

[supermariofj]

Ron Paul would probably support him back. Maybe not his message, but yeah, his right to free speech.

[44prot]

Exactly! The cops, of ALL people, should obide by the law and constution,instead of taking orders from this egotistical judge. It's not important how he states his name, he can make an ass out of himself if that is his wish.No harm or obscene language used! AND, if Ron Paul would be ashamed to have his support,I wouldn't want Ron Paul

Guy's an idiot. I wish he wouldn't associate himself with Ron Paul.

Ronnie Reeferseed...you are alright. My family founded Texas. Sometimes a dipshit becomes mayor of Austin every now and then, so Leffingwell's career will be done at the end of this term. Why can't we find some cops smart enough to know what the law is? Maybe we need to stop getting these military folk who depend too much on chain of command. Plus, people need to have a sense of humor. C'mon the guy just said his name.

Ron Paul 2012!

Either your message is important, or your ego. Decide and choose.

[meadowsprite]

It's no way to approach a council if you expect them to take you seriously (fat chance anyway), but it is if you want to brand yourself and carry your consistent message to a wider television and radio audience. That's what Ronnie does. You may or may not agree with his approach, but he's not using profanity or doing anything worse than what regularly appears on TV. He either has a right to free speech or he doesn't - and if he doesn't, none of us does.

speaks volumes about our freedoms being taken away.

[chancey1979]

This guy shouldn't have been arrested for this but i mean common the dude acts like he's smoking a joint as he introduces him self - this guy's a total dumbass and should be thrown out for acting like that. That is no way to approach a council. He just made a mockery of the whole proceeding. I'm for freedom of speech but this is just ridiculous.
