This guy gets it.

From a remarkably large piece in the WaPo on the pro war rally in Washington that had "hundreds of others on the Mall." If you support the administration, gathering hundreds gets you page B01, but that's not the point of this post. The point is to highlight this:

The rally was largely peaceful, punctuated by a few small clashes with antiwar protesters, one of whom wore a T-shirt that read: "Wanted for Mass Murder: The Bush Regime."

Rally-goers asked police to remove the man, who went limp as officers came to escort him away.

"Saddam Hussein is a moron, and you're a moron!" came a voice from the crowd.

"I'm a patriot," responded the protester, who peacefully followed police off the Mall sipping from a Starbucks coffee cup. "Look what's happening. I'm being taken from a public park because of a T-shirt."


Also, WaPo reporter man. Did the guy go limp? Or did he peacefully follow the police?
