  • Well there is ONE Judge so far!

    Have the rest of them never heard of our BILL of RIGHTS, or are they just waiting for the Yiddish version to come out?

  • @TexasStraightShooter thats funny, and sad at the same time

  • good to see there are still some decent people left in the justice system

  • where is them good ole boys in the militia who keep saying they won't let this happen in America? I say they're all LIARS

  • @hiruleshouse you are mistaken about the militia movement. The militamen around going to start shooting cops for arresting a handful of protestors. The militia is there for "extreme" scenarios. Like is martial law happened, or if the government did a full scale takeover or imprisonment of its citizens. Right now, we are using protesting measures as our main plight. War isnt glamourous. its a last resort, with many ramifications. sometimes the pen is mighter than the sword. (sometimes)

  • @WorldMilitia Nobody is talking about War. But if the MIlitia were simply there-armed-the police wouldn't do this. Occupy PHoenix is proof of this and you can do a youtube search of occupy phoenix to see. ALso you talk about a "Handful" Of Americans being trampled on by the government as not being important enough. The government will NEVER come after 100% of americans so I guess you're safe.

  • @hiruleshouse Well. In phoenix, no one was being arrested that day. I doubt those men would have fired shots. But, im sure they did strike a little fear into the police. The problem is, most militia men are in hiding. Here recently they have been getting rounded up. Even the militia people I know are watching closely, but arent coming out of hiding. And you are dead wrong! Look at Germany, Libya, Rwanda, Yugoslavia......the government went after its own people, and the freedom fighters came out

  • @WorldMilitia The REASON nobody was being arrested is because of the presence of armed citizens. Do a youtube search of protests in america. EVERY times the citizens are UNarmed they get assaulted. EVERY time the protestors are armed they do NOT get assaulted.  The militia didn't attack the cops because they didn't have to-law enforcement WON'T attack american citizens armed enmasse

  • @hiruleshouse I agree with you. But, here is the thing. Not of the occupy people support militias. I asked the Occupy Nashville people if they wanted the militia to be there. and the response? " We dont want anyone armed to be around us. Its not what we are about. We appreciate your concern. But, we dont want any militias here".

  • @hiruleshouse Yeah what ever happened to all those guys? You never hear about groups like that anymore like you did in the 90's, and you would think they would be even bigger and more vocal today with all the shit going on. WTF?

  • fuck the police.

    

  • Cheers Judge Thomas Nelson!

  • @MrBretlee Remember the Good Beings -

    Judge Thomas Nelson - Thank You

  • This are the usual tactics of the Establishment. Read Steinbeck to see lots of examples from 30's to limit labor unrest. What it is about is to ensure that we all feel a sense of hopelessness and lose of empowerment towards social change. The police are not the enemy. The State is not the enemy. We are the State. Afraid.We are afraid because We know that the changes coming will not be gradual. They will be horrific or liberating. There must be Voice or there will remain Darkness.

  • FUCK YES!!!!! Judge Thomas Nelson a friend of FREEDOM!!!!

  • Cheers Judge Thomas Nelson!

  • fuck the police

  • That Judge just made that Cop look like his bitch.

  • @TheAwakenedHeretic Tell'n that bitch THE LAW OF US

  • Ron Paul for President.... PLEASE READ & PASS ON... He IS the LAST HOPE.

    .by Tamara Lee Belleville-Marsden on Tuesday, 01 November 2011 at 09:45

    please vote for Ron Paul... follow my Facebook for truths..

  • WELL..Ill..BE DAMNED!!!!!!!!!!!!! A JUDGE FOR THE PEOPLE... THERE MAY BE HOPE AFTER ALL!!! and i was waiting for the shooting to start..

  • @MegaSurviverman I don't think he is for or against the people on that one, I think he just did his job and repeat the law, pointing out precedent and explaining what is going on to the police... Which is, sometime, all we ask from a judge: a good old "I don't care but you can't do that"

  • The judge should have sentenced the cops to a week in jail

    .

    

  • uhh.. what curfew? I didn't get to vote on that

  • That judge will be looking for a new job, right soon too.

  • I'm not going to slap that judge on the back for doing the right thing. I expect that of them EVERY SINGLE TIME. That said, respect is earned, not given. He has earned respect.

  • @TheTrollTime I commend your zeal sir, But if you think any, or either party is better than another, you are deeply confused & woefully mislead. A leaderless movement such as occupy is the perfect illistration.

  • So the first ammendment means nothing? If we get a permit and peacefully protest, we are exercising not our priveledge, but our right. they can not arrest me if i am simply peacefully protesting. Come on, my father is a navy SEAL and my uncle is in the marines, they both fight to preserve these rights. You know how many times the second ammendment has been tested? Alot. People died for that right. (although not that right in general, all of the rights) sorry about my spelling, im 13.

  • @echo2687 getting a permit is asking permission making it a priveledge. Even though the 1st amendment makes it a Right.

  • Notice how the reporter emphasis on "STATE", the "STATE"... The almighty STATE! From up high the "STATE" tells you what you can do. Limitation put on you by the "STATE"...

    Wake up people, this is WRONG! We have to start telling the "STATE" what it can and can not do!

  • "troopers"

    disgusting

  • so i guess the drone boys on the street determine the "law" in Nashville?

  • good job guys solidarity from seattle 

  • @TheTrollTime ,,, as he completely missed the point.

  • @TheTrollTime If the "tea party" was not hijacked, Ron Paul would have been leading it sputnik.

  • This protest is fantastic - and it's forcing the right wing elitists and their bigoted scum bag followers to show their true colors and alliances...

  • hoax?

  • Prostest permits, WTF, and then a judge who is impartial and unbiased again,WTF??

  • HAHAHA! The Peoples Plaza! They have one of those in Communist China, too!

    The "OWS" movement is a Communist New World Order PsyOp.

    We-The-People should definitely kick the sh!t out of the Banksters...but let's be smart about it and not jump into bed with any group who claim to be on our side and says the things we WANT to hear!

  • @RadioFlyffer Careful your tinfoil hat is showing.... It must be so tough being a right wing bigot and being exposed as such - ooo it's a toughie, side with the elite or side with people JUST LIKE YOU, but because of your self loathing, you secretly hate...

  • @RadioFlyffer So if you don't jump into bed with people that says things you want to hear, then whom exactly do you jump into bed with?

  • police should seriously start reading/respecting the constitution they took an oath to uphold, atleast to know how to act within their constitutional limits so they avoid embarrasing themselves like this.

  • pwned

  • Now that is a Judge Respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

  • PEOPLES PLAZA. PEOPLES STREETS. PEOPLES COUNTRY.

  • thanks judge but you can come out with us

  • one smart judge. old school!!!!!

  • how do they change a curfew with with out any public notice or vote ? i am confused -

  • The police were out of line! It's not only a persons right to protest against injustice but it's their civil duty!

  • People in Tennessee are TRAITORS and IDIOTS.

    1. They worship the Satanic State of Israhell

    2. They worship Satanic Jews

    3. They spread lies about WWII and swallow Communist Jew Holocaust war propaganda

    4.  They are too stupid to know 9/11 was a demolition done by Israel and Zionist Traitors.

  • @parasitesarefunny As a resident of Nashville, I must ask what is the hell are you talking about you ignorant paranoid nut? Do not group me amongst those who would do harm to the Republic. I cannot decide whether you actually believe what you wrote or are trying to get people like me to waste there time and reply to this nonsense

  • @Jakearoo14

    You prove my point Jakearoo. You are a DUPE who swallows the Communist Jew Holocaust propaganda and you swallow the Zionist Jew lies about 9/11.

    You have no clue who owns the Banks, Mass Media, Hollywood, Politicians etc.... You swallow what you are told to swallow.

    You Jakearoo are the typical TN traitor & idiot who worships the State of Israhell, worships the Satanic Jew, swallows Communist Jew WWII war propaganda and is too stupid to know 9/11 was a demolition done by Israel

  • A warning to the Tennesssee Highway Patrol: I'm a hillbilly from Tennessee and you should be ashamed of your disregard of the citizens of our state. Tennesseeans are a forgiving and kind people but our rightous indignation is nothing to be laughed at. Remember that we are a well armed people unlike New York City, We have not nor will we ever be disarmed. So you better respect our constitution and our rights or watch your back 24/7. We're living right next door to you. Final warning

  • The first amendment power is in effect 24 / 7 and can not be restricted to certain time limits.

    The Judge was correct in not pressing charges and letting the protestors be booked.

  • Please view: OCCUPY WALL STREET SAID THOMAS JEFFERSON. interesting prophecy of these times from jefferson himself : watch?v=rknSGjDeoFc

  • "We'll put a boot in your ass, that the American way". ??????

    Nashville needs to wake the fuck up. The Dixie Chicks were right!

    Toby Keith needs to stop being a fucking Zionist Dupe!

  • I "watched" this already.. sure I did..

  • Join the "Republic for the united States"!

    It is the ORIGINAL constitutional government of the united States of America.

    It is being "re-inhabited" so that the "corporate de facto" present government , which was put in place during the Civil War, can finally be neutralized and abolished.

    Active in all 50 states!

    Constitutional Citizen Grand Juries being set up in every county, nationwide!

    Visit our website, attend some meeting, then JOIN!

    We CAN and MUST get this done, together.

  • @TheTrollTime

    The government and police are the Marxists.

  • Well, he didn't say the cops couldn't evict them, he just said they had to give the protesters "notice and opportunity to comply". "Notice and opportunity" are at the heart of "Due Process".

  • Comment removed

  • @TheTrollTime You subscribe to FOX news lol, that tells me all I need to know along with your name.

  • I'm confused because I don't quite know whether all these protesters are anti New World Order or simply government lackies playing into their hands? This is an important distinction that needs to be revealed.

  • Alex Jones for humanity!!!!

  • Fuck Tennesee, fuck the Nazi bastard cops. If cops abuse US citizens, we will start to abuse the cops! Nazi cops will pay!

  • It appears that are some judges that haven't been bought off and will support and defend the Constitution. Let us hope more judges observe their oaths to protect and defend the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND!

  • @TheTrollTime Your an Idiot

  • I loved the cowards face, dressed in uniform, listening the the LAW. I hope it goes viral and I hope those cowards in uniform watch this.

  • tHE POLICE SHOULD BE PROSSECUTED!

  • Well done judge!

  • A judge with a brain! Do cops not understand that their pensions will stolen as well?

  • Stupid fucking cops.. Go to hell you PIGS!

  • The whole country has been turned from community policing, to a militarized police force, sheriff offices, national guard, all who took an oath of office to protect and serve the american people, not the corporations. Get on board police cuz we are representing you too!

  • The entire permit to protest is found in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America. Nothing else (besides brass balls and patriotism) is required.

  • Cops are criminals they swore an oath to protect the Constitution,

  • The Occupy Protestors are basically saying, 'We're Mad as Hell and We're NOT Gonna Take It Anymore!' Instead of arresting the scores of corrupt politicians who are complicit in aiding & abetting illegal, unjustified wars of Imperial outreach, warcrimes, serial Human & civil rights violations, past & future offenses of warrantless wiretapping, bankster & financial-con frauds, massive insider trading, thousands of cases of Police Abuse & a corrupt Justice Dept., the police arrest the Messangers!

  • America used to be a free country where free speech was a 24/7 right.

    Now it's a dicktatorship run by dicks.

  • we dont need no stank permits, permission, curfews, or statues

  • Wow, some truth and honesty for once? Thanks a bunch Mr. Judge, you give strength and faith to those that are against the world.

  • All of sudden they're not allowed to be there overnight? Why? What could possibly be the reason, hrm?

  • This is OUR COUNTRY not the Governments,,

  • Get owned Police. Fuck off already

  • Now THAT is what you call a Judge!. One who not only Knows but FOLLOWS the law. A rare find these day's it seems. Great stuff.

  • @offwiththefairies77 Dont get too excited they just forgot to corrupt him, thats all. :)

  • @offwiththefairies77 we are the judge!!

  • Never thought I would say this, but that's a judge who's hand I'd like to shake. Lol. Bet that cop felt dumb as shit after honorable judge bad ass there let into him! Lmao

  • Holy shit a judge who does the right thing.....whatever next, Obama arresting the Rothchilds...

  • Legislative Plaza...wtf?!

  • i am troy davis

  • Yeah... Seems like the South has sold out to BIG Government, long gone are the days of the Southern Rebel.. Now it's Viper check points, and no protesting from 9-5.. Where is that Rebel Spirit now ??? Take back your State before its toooo late !!!

  • @younwhosarmy Well actually the Nashville judge, the mayor, and the police dept are all putting out statements saying they have no problem with the occupiers. The occupation arrests as well as the fancy new highway checkpoints you mention are seen here as encroachments from outside which they are. It's homeland security and the Rep state (Tenn) apparatus, no doubt backed up by NATO if necessary. Not that local gov would actually fight to protect Occupy, but (cont)

  • @grandmachristine42 they HAVE said several times that asa far as they are concerned, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT. So please, when you yell about how bad they are, please do not include Metro Nashville in that. Nashville appreciates this correct decision on the part of our local gov and returns the favor by not wanting it attacked just like Metro does not want Occupy attacked. Got it? I know it's weird and maybe temporary, but for now its pretty cool. Nice to be loved.

  • Wow! A judge who is enforcing the Constitution! Amazing.

  • Thank you Judge

  • Hearing somebody in authority speaking up for the people like that has become such a rarity it is music to the ears and uplifting to the heart. Thank you and well done Sir.

  • We are all Scott Olsen!!

    99%

    TOO BIG TO FAIL!!

  • Thomas Nelson welldone sir...

  • Salute the last Lawful and law abiding judge perhaps in all of America.

  • Greetings from the UK...well done folks...Don't be told you dont have rights...Yes the whole world is watching & protesting and we all protest as one people of the world....Its time to take the world back from the corrupt few Elites. Well done to that Judge for using common sense (something we seldom see, due to corruption in Global Authorities).

    Remember who's pulling all the strings. "The Rothschild Banking Empire" JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, HSBC, IMF, ECB, Bank of England + many more

  • @theyarelying2u don"t you think it ironic the west supported the Arab Spring in Egypt, Syria etc. But why don"t they give the same respect to the Wests on protests. Its the same with Gaddafi, they were bedfellows recently, but chaged when he was ousted. I agree with you "fight the power" its funny St Paul was a tent maker, & its now tents at St Pauls that are giving the church a headache. Brilliant

  • @dan32113 The Arab Spring is there to install new puppet governments (with more or less success). OWS aims to replace or at least tame its puppet government along with the puppeteers.

  • The public space shouldnt have a curfew.

    If they are worried about crime it would only take 2 cops to "protect the building"

    The only thing I can imagine cops worrying about.

    But then the police will never release evidence of anything that warranted a change of the rules.

  • Finally a JUDGE that'll stand up to the NAZI-istic Cops in this country , long over due - Right to a peaceful assembly - Right to bear Arms & Freedom of Speech ! Government for the people by the people !!

  • thomas edward nelson ....you sir are a gentalman ...thank you for doing your job

  • Wow .. what is this armored news paper stand the Judge is in ?

    looked like a seen from "Judge Dread " ...

  • FUCK THE COPS !

  • Go judge nelson...put that pig in his place

  • Boycott Tennessee! They are also running Homeland Security "Viper" check points on highways and bus stations...asking destination and papers please and doing illegal vehicle searchs....

    And now they change the 1st amendment to read " only protest from 9-5.

    fuck tennesee

  • @philais california has been doing these illegal searches for years

  • Here is what all good citizens should do: get some boil ho water, spray it onto them. If things esclate, escape, and draw grafittis all over places.

  • Good to see someone is following the constitution. Great job Judge!

  • The judges twitter, THANK HIM! @fightingsioux1

  • @Nicka317 Tell Governor Haslam to back off 615 741-2001

  • @Nicka317 Why thank him? Did you hear what he said?  The state can impose a curfew, can lawfully bust up protests as long as the protesters are "given adequate time." If these protesters are arrested again (for "trespass" on public property) this man wouldn't throw it out, as they were given that adequate time.

    For what, exactly, should we thank him?

  • go Nashville go!

    Your brothers and sisters in Seattle are behind you 100%.

  • You mean you cant just run down to the court house and change a bunch of rules during a protest and then start locking people up????? Thats like changing the drinking age in the middle of your first beer! WTF. This judge is one of the good guys.

  • George Calin

  • you see how humbled that cop was when the Judge dropped the Elbow off the top rope is Classic!!,,,

  • Ha H on the THP. How stupid can they really be? As we can see, they can be pretty stupid. Thank you Judge for honoring the protestors'1st amendment right.

  • good for the judge and i agree that a lot of cops get off on brutalizing people if given the chance i went to school with three guys who became cop and two out of the three failed to last until retirement two of them resigned because of conduct

  • Where are all those "freedoms" I keep hearing about in this "Land of the Free?" Just bullshit, of course. You are free to do as the corporate-controlled government tells you to do. The United States is simply a bad joke.

  • It isnt enough that the protestors are beaten up and released If you or I kidnapped and brutalized someone we'd end up in prison It is the law that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, just cos these guys dress like police doesnt give them any special rights, they are brown shirts dressed to impersonate the police and that is also a criminal offense

  • cops are getting paid overtime for doing nothing.terriorism Defination is: the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear( cops are terrorist!)

  • Wow, That is really just awesome. Gotta respect the judge who is legally and morally correct on this.

  • signon.org/sign/give-tulsans-t­he-right.fb1?source=c.fb&r_by=­681899

    PLEASE SIGN THIS HELP OCCUPY TULSA THEY ARE MAKING US FIGHT FOR OUR 1st AMENDMENT !!!

  • Just wait till clown boy O'reilly calls him an activist judge on Monday.

  • @qixxxz

    Good call. I was just thinking that the conservative media would be calling this guy a radical judge next.

  • @Vinifera7 Agreed, the way things are going, I'm kind of surprised they did not throw the people in FEMA camps and try to cover it up, a little exaggeration there, then again you never know, heck, there trying to take away all our Constitutional rights, nothing would surprise me now days. Yes sir, no sir, thank you sir and STFU.

  • I ... I almost.. couldn't believe my ears.... 

  • Owned.

  • @sirbata , Night court.

  • YOU DON'T NEED A FUCKING PERMIT TO PROTEST!!!

    THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS YOUR PERMIT!!!

    Who the FUCK, given the choice, would GIVE a permit to BE protested?!?!

    That's the whole reason why EVERYONE has a right to peacefully protest!!!

    IF there's a violent act THEN you can act against the INDIVIDUAL committing the violence, but you CANNOT simply say, "These people can protest, these people can't."

    It's NOT the states decision!!!

  • I wish the judge also concluded the curfew was a bullshit law as well.

  • Great judge.

  • TEN FTW

  • Curious that all the cities are cracking down at virtualy the same time. Makes it all look rather scripted to me.

  • they take out the park then we shall occupy the damn capitol building of that state

  • Thomas Edward Nelson FTW!

  • @weinderdog1184 , FTW ?

  • @klscott5 FOR THE WIN

  • @weinderdog1184 , Thanks.

  • It's the " Volunteer State " for a reason...Us Tennesseeans were, and are, always ready to fight for a free U.S.A. 

  • God grace...judge who actually have reed constitution.

  • Awesome judge.

  • Small victories people. Keep your heads up, and never give up. When a local Judge in Tenn. will stand up for the struggling middle class there is hope.

  • How long will it be before Thomas Edwards is thrown off the bench?

  • obviously he wasnt paid enough this time

  • Awesome Judge

  • Find out sponsored the bill to close the park? Theirs where you'll find your paid puppet. Police should be sick of being used by now.

  • Wonderful Judge...

    total-collapse . com

  • damn rare to see a judge do the right thing

  • An honest judge, wow!

  • Fuck ya Nashville! Good to see some people in the legal system still know what the Constitution is supposed to be about.

  • Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! You stupid pigs are losing the war. I hope your funding gets cut down to zip. you pieces of shit! Now go wipe the tears off your stupid cop mustache.

  • @sethzky77 lol!! true! lol

  • Power to the people!

  • Police have a habit of arresting people regardless of whether it is constitutional or not. They need to be held accountable for their incompetence.
