Constitutional right to freedom of speech MY ASS!!! When I see those American police officers treat that woman like an animal, it embarasses me to have been born here!!!

There is no free enterprise America any more, just corporations. And those corporations have all leaders, lawmakers and justices in their pockets. All that matters to the corporations is profit and market share. We the people are nothing more than slaves to them. And though salaries are proporationally lower then two decades ago many people say, "I'm just glad to have a job." Corporate leaders love to hear that.

@elvisfan187 you are nothing more than a piece of chattel property. you do have a birth certificate which is essentially a financial security that is traded in the marketplace. your person (legal name in all caps) was created by the state to represent your body (perhaps not your soul) as collateral on this financial security. this is how the government is able to wrack up a huge trade deficit and have debts payable to other countries such as china

@railfanstreator94 Funny thing is, she wasn't she's a part of Code Pink, an organization based out of San Francisco. The Oil Spill did not affect her in anyway.

[DOUCHEBAGSTOOKMYNAME]

You have a right of freedom of speech, yes, BUT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE BEING AN ASS IN THE MIDDLE OF A COURT HEARING/ ORGANIZED SPEAKING EVENT!!!!!!

I hate BP, BELIEVE ME I live in Louisiana, so I'd love to see some shit go down with them, but Code Pink is just a bunch of idiots who think they're freedom of speech includes heckling people whenever they want. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.

In my opinion I understand it's not propper to disturb a Congressionial Hearing like that but if that lady was from the Gulf Coast Area let her talk and tell that moron the opinions of the plain American people who live down there and if BP didn't do all the stuff they could have done to prevent tragedys like what happened on the Gulf from happening then I agree with her bring those big shots of BP up on charges!!!

An American stands up. Bravo!

@elvisfan187 Well, when you act like an animal and make a spectacle in public, then physically resist when asked to leave, yea, not much else to do than treat the cow like a cow.

The asian had nothing on the fat woman.

BP:"We know that the troubled woman is deeply sad and for that we say: we're sorry.."
