Kind of ironic to see this happening in the US from a peaceful protester. Ray McGovern is arrested for his silent protest of Hillary Clinton.

OpEdNews - Article: Former CIA Veteran Ray McGovern Discusses Brutal Arrest at Secretary Clinton's Internet Freedom Speech

On Tuesday, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on issues of free speech at George Washington University, 71-year-old former CIA analyst Ray McGovern was assaulted, dragged from the room and double handcuffed causing profuse bleeding.

What had he done to elicit this treatment? He stood in "silent witness." Apparently an old man standing silently with his back turned in the presence of a government figure is now considered disorderly conduct, warranting jail time.
