We agree that he was not in his house, but that he was on his own property.

I guess then, we need to determine, by local law, if private property is considered "public" or not.

His dickishness is not in question. He *was* a dick. But being a dick on your own property is *not* against the law!

And not just on his property, but on his porch.

Well until the President of the United States thought it was a good idea to throw in his opinion on a local police matter.
It was dismissed long before Obama said anything.

Yea, in view of the public. Hence, disorderly conduct. They should have left him in jail for at least a night.

The law is written vaguely enough that it could apply, even to private property, which, IMHO, is unconstitutional. But it is a law, HM, wrong as it is.

Here is the Massachusettes statute:
Quote:

Chapter 272: Section 53. Penalty for certain offenses

Section 53. Common night walkers, common street walkers, both male and female, common railers and brawlers, persons who with offensive and disorderly acts or language accost or annoy persons of the opposite sex, lewd, wanton and lascivious persons in speech or behavior, idle and disorderly persons, disturbers of the peace, keepers of noisy and disorderly houses, and persons guilty of indecent exposure may be punished by imprisonment in a jail or house of correction for not more than six months, or by a fine of not more than two hundred dollars, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Yeah, because tazing (which is potentially lethal if old guy has ANY heart condition at ALL) is such an appropriate reponse to an asshat.

Should I point out I believe it should be legal to simply off anyone I deem to be a fuckstick? The line forms behind the arguing professor gates and dick cheney.
