Seems like it’s slightly longer, and has commentary added.

For what it’s worth, Campbell Court in downtown Roanoke is not a courthouse; it’s a small area adjacent to Campbell Avenue. “Court” in this context is being used for one of its other meanings.

No, you did not call me a terrorist but you insinuated that I am un-American. To which I say, fuck you. I spent years in the military and I am concerned with people’s rights. And when people are willing to give up their rights for stupid reasons it hits a nerve. And you try to say that people like me is the reason we are getting bombed. How ignorant.

And when did I say we didn’t need a police force? However, I don’t think we need to call 9/11 for every little thing. Or drop 9-11 anytime I need to win an argument.
Also, TASERs are not necessary every time they are used and justifying that it is better than a bullet is circular logic. I could continue to unravel your arguments all day but… what would be the point really. You go on respecting the DEA, FBI, and whoever you want. Just don’t expect everyone else to do so just because they are the authority.
Oh I am sorry, does that make me un-American?

I call Poe on robbie. Either that, or he’s the explicit average american… and that’s okay, i guess. They have the right to voice their opinion just like everyone else. Even if they can’t actually do it.

At what point did I say terrorist or terrorism or compare him to a terrorist? The comment of 911 was referenced to the loss of life not a photographer with no common sense.I think he was an ediot for not letting them know what he was doing. Yes its a public place, but its also a courthouse..common sense is a virtue..I have no quarries with a photographer, just the ignorance

Robbie,

The problem is people like yourself who compare photographers to terrorists.

Nope, not naieve. Just American and for one people like you with your mentality are the reason why we r getting bombed and everything else. For sure, we are not required to inform them of our ctions-do u think perhaps we should do with out a Police Force? Tell me who would you call if you did not have 911? It does not matter if it were a camera or a gun-It was a public place, yes-but wheres the common sense in asking-Also, they may taser people, its alot better than shooting them. As far as harassing, it goes both ways!! Also, when a Police Officer is killed in action by a Thug-whats the excuse then-he/she deserved it because they were doing their job? This s silly, I am sorry u or anyone else thinks I am naieve-I am not- I am proud to be an American and I am proud of the Police Department, DEA, FBI, USSS, ATF, Firefighters-so many loose their lives to ignorant people!! Look at 9/11-Get over yourself!!
