Title: park police try to stifle national anthem
Post by: gunsmith on August 13, 2010, 01:09:59 AM

got this off drudge, some park pd tried to silence some youngsters from spontaneous
expression of patriotism ... they said they were stunned at first but then decided not to obey.
good for them I say!

from NBC washington.com
Evan Gassman, a spokesman for the group, said, "I was taken aback. You wouldn’t expect a display of national patriotism to be censored." At that point, he said, it had become political -- and the group kept singing as an act of civil disobedience.

"If their idea of civil disobedience is singing the national anthem, then so be it," Gassman said. "Let them disobey."
