I have a problem with this. They were breaking no laws. The SS can come
and check if they want, but there is a constituional right to peaceably
assemble. And this is PRIVATE property no less.


I thought about responding to Hawkeye's version of events, but figured it
was so absurd there was no reason respond. Unless they were handing out
industrial-strength stupid pills to the Secret Service agents that day,
there is no way they would have ordered people legally on private property
to do anything - and certainly not threaten to shoot them via a
loudspeaker. And entering private property without consent of the owner
when no laws were being broken? The SS has been handed their ass in court
for even less abusive behavior than that - when they got caught.

If the SS did all that Hawkeye claimed, and nobody bothered to bring legal
action against the SS agents, then somebody must have handed out
industrial-strength stupid pills to the citizens that day.
