No criminal charges for Obama protesters arrested in St. Charles for distracting I-70 drivers:
A pair of St. Charles County men won’t face criminal charges after their recent arrests during an anti-Obama protest on an Interstate 70 highway overpass.
. . . .
The men were arrested in August for failing to obey orders by Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers as the pair gathered above I-70 to protest the president.
Would they have been arrested if the signs had said, “Happy Birthday Mindy!”
Of course not.
But the goal was served, prosecution or not. They were removed from the bridge and prevented from sharing their message. And perhaps they’ll think better of peacefully assembling and speaking their minds in the future.
