Romney's event was on private property. They can ask anyone to leave they want to. Writer of the article didn't leave when asked. Was it a legal arrest? Sure it was. ...
I hope nobody here to goes on a rant and hope everyone respects property rights.

When you hold an open event, it is reasonable that some of your control over your property is going to be ceeded to the hoard of whoever shows up. That's just reasonable. The man did nothing criminal. remember, trespassing is only such, if there is intent to cause harm. Where's the harm? Arrest? seriously.

In theory if the neighbors 5 year old kid comes into my yard and starts picking my flowers, i can shoot her, right? Is that a reasonable response?

Case Dismissed! Charges Dropped in My Bizarre Arrest at a January Romney Event

by Matt B. on July 15, 2012

In January, I had one of the weirder and more unsettling experiences of my life – after (possibly) being mistaken for a protester, I was removed and then arrested for “criminal trespass” at a public Mitt Romney event in Hudson, NH.

Recently, I got some great news: the case has been dismissed! No charges, no trial, and thanks to the wonderful pro-bono legal work of Andru Volinsky (with an assist from Jim Rosenberg), no legal fees. (Tony Barash, former Director of the American Bar Association Center for Pro Bono, put me in contact with Volinsky, so I’m very grateful to Tony as well!)

Thanks to everyone who expressed their support, and to everyone who participated in what became some very worthwhile conversations about our political process.

For those who said, "it's trespassing blah blah blah", this video is for you!

well now with HR347 or whatever it was that made it a jail term for tresspassing in an area where someone guarded by secret service is, even if you don't know about the law.....

This guy is lucky it was before that bill was passed.

When Romney was wherever he was yesterday, his cars were called a 'motorcade'.

I'm afraid this is the same thing that is going to happen when Romney takes over Tampa.
