Just a quick diary here. Last night (about 3:10am) Tennessee Highway Patrol officers cleared out Legislative Plaza, arresting 29 peaceful protesters. By all accounts the officers were civil and professional in their enforcement of the unconstitutional policy adopted earlier in the week.
The big surprise, to me at least, came when Night Court Commissioner Tom Nelson refused to sign off on their arrest warrants!
The protesters were returned to the custody of THP, who kept them until 9am and released them with misdemeanor citations for criminal trespassing. Those charges, I would imagine, will not hold in court since it was public property.
Go 99%!!!!!!
