okay, this is an example of a total lack of respect and
understanding of our first amendment right. Me and a bunch
of friends live in Charlottesville, Va. we got bored one
friday and decided to start writing on the downtown mall in
chalk. after a while, little kids started chalking, people
were drawing smiley faces and everyone was having fun. and
best of all...we weren't bored. later on that day, the cops
showed up and took away our chalk, putting it the back of
the police car. they told us it was destruction of public
property. then, for a couple of hours, they sat on top of
the buildings downtown and watched us, writing down every
wrong thing we did. after awhile, they came down and gave
out tickets to nearly half the kids who were down there.
