Jarvis had assigned her senior civics and economics class "to take photographs to illustrate their rights in the Bill of Rights," she says. One student "had taken a photo of George Bush out of a magazine and tacked the picture to a wall with a red thumb tack through his head. Then he made a thumb's-down sign with his own hand next to the President's picture, and he had a photo taken of that, and he pasted it on a poster." ... An employee in that Wal-Mart photo department called the Kitty Hawk police on the student. And the Kitty Hawk police turned the matter over to the Secret Service. On Tuesday, September 20, the Secret Service came to Currituck High.
The seemed fishy so I went looking for mainstream press coverage. Seems like the story checks out, but the "liberal" media is very short on details. One particular detail the "liberal" media is careful not to mention is the name of the film development house that called the police. The "liberal" media is very careful not to threaten advertising revenue from sponsors. Obviously part of their left wing agenda. 1. This isn't the first time I've heard of Walmart calling the police because they are suspicious of the contents of photos they've been asked to develop. I would not suprised if they aren't specifically trained to report suspicious information they are handling. Don't have anything developed or printed there. 2. This should not have actually resulted in Agents going to a school. At some point some amount of actual reason should have kicked in here. One moron at walmart is understandable. When the Agent and the US Attorney are also morons one begins to wonder. 3. The message here is clearly that freedom of speech barely exists. We will at least try to find a reason to prosecute. |
