[Vision2020] [Bulk] "Democracy Now!" Amy Goodman Arrested At RNC

[Paul Rumelhart]

Anybody know what the applicable laws are here?  Was she on private 
property?  Is the RNC an invite-only event, or is it open to the 
public?  How does freedom of the press factor in?

It did not look to me like she was arrested with undue force.

Leaving aside the question of whether the decision to exclude a 
left-wing journalist looks good for the Republican Party, were her 
rights actually violated?

By the way, I was amazed our President would make references to the 
"angry left" in his speech to the RNC yesterday.  No wonder our country 
is so divided.

I wish I knew how the divide could be crossed.
