Paul Ryan Event Draws Protesters, Police Arrest Three At Luncheon

Several protestors who paid to attend the lunch attempted to drown out Ryan by standing and shouting questions during his remarks. One woman asked, "When are you going to create jobs, Congressman?" while another man criticized Ryan for avoiding the topic of unemployment, saying "We're three minutes in and we haven't heard the word 'jobs' yet."

According to Patch, about a dozen protesters were escorted out of the building, and another dozen left the speech willingly. Three were arrested and given municipal citations.

Police told Patch they warned protesters in advance that they could face arrest if they disrupted Ryan's speech.

THAT is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard!! What ever happened to freedom of speech????? Its not like they were threatening him or anything, they just wanted him to address JOBS

Lets see, we can't see him at his office, doesn't acknowledge email, mail and fax. Now they he won't answer answers questions at a paid luncheon. Do they give free meals if your arrested?

We need to give politicians a hard time everywhere certain politicians go. Fax/Copy/Scan Printers have dropped in price. With wireless we can go anywhere. Use cameras will travel. Can now make protest signs on the spot with 4G technology. Let say we have them outnumbered and out faxed. We even have them out FAUST.

We don't have to be obstructive, just answer the questions and be accountable for their actions. Whatever new phrases the President says tonight, use that against them. In the Wild West they use to use guns and make these punks dance. It is about time that they be treated John Wayne style. In his last the "Shootist," John had one punk bend over and he kicked him into a mud puddle. I loved it when Jimmy Hoffa said to get rid of the SOBs in Washington. The time to be be nice is now over! Take our country back from the rich bastards!

His handlers don't want anything that can break his concentration. They know when he's forced to go off-script, he comes across as a blathering idiot.
