 | My question is this, the article mentions that he had been asked to stop singing 5 prior times prior to being arrested after the sixth. Is this true, and if it is, why didn't he stop?? Did the police over react, probably, however, if he was asked six times to stop singing, and that a permit was required for musical performances in the park, it would seem he pushed his luck just a bit too far. dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | |||||||||||||||||||||

But it was a public park. You need a permit to sing in a public area now. I know that you need a permit in certain confined public areas such as subway and train stations in my city because it makes it hard for people to hear important announcement and the accoustics problem too. But this was out in the open...if you cant sing out in the open then you need to go around to every homeless and poor man around every town and city who is holding a musical instrument trying to earn a few buck and toss them in jail too.

The article also mentions the fact that it was not only the one individual but also two additional band members as well. Did you even take the time to read the article??

| He wasn't making a musical presentation... He was singing... He wasn't putting on a show or any such. And if that is the law, which is currently in question here in Philly, then it needs to be ammended to allow people to sing if they want. This cop crossed the line. When Mr. Porter asked what the law said the cop told him "I make the law"... And that is obscene.
