The Right to Dissent but not in America

You have the right to dissent against the government, as long as you don't exercise that right against the Government.

On the 15th of February 2011, Secretary Hillary Clinton was delivering a speech that was berating the Authoritarian Governments for taking brutal actions and reprisals against those who peacefully protest. 71 year old Veteran Army Officer, Ray McGovern, remained standing during that speech with his back turned to her. He said nothing just stood there proudly wearing a T-Shirt with the message "Veterans for Peace." During her condescending lecture towards the very countries that the US props up with taxpayer money, police grabbed and dragged McGovern out the George Washington University lecture hall. He was beaten and thrown in jail while still bleeding.

As McGovern was being forcibly dragged out, Secretary Clinton continue her speech as if she was oblivious to what was unfolding in front her; or was her lack of action her acquiescence of the atrocity?

After being held by police, McGovern was told that he would be charged with disorderly conduct. ^{[1] [2]}



Less than four years prior, a University of Florida student was dragged away from a microphone while he was trying to grill Senator John Kerry after listening to his two hour speech went around in circles. University Police tased him and cuffed him.
