Remember when protesting was popular? Yeah, good times. Well, now a small group protests the thug Eric Holder and gets shut down.
America: A nice concept while it lasted.
U.S. Secret Service officers shut down a student-led protest calling for President Obama to fire Attorney General Eric Holder this morning, according to a report from in front of the White House.
After discovering a “suspicious package,” the Secret Service ended the protest. “Several agents seemed hostile to our march and seemed anxious for us to leave the area,” Maurice Lewis, a University of California student, told Campus Reform. “The discover[y of] the ‘unidentified package’ came just as the protest began gain traction.”
According to the Daily Caller’s Matthew Boyle, this “suspicious package” bit is nonsense.
I was there at protest. There is absolutely no way this “threat” Secret Service claims was a serious one. #FastandFurious #FireHolder

Somebody shoulda offered to pay ‘em $47. That’s their going rate.

Those guys are so full of crap.
One of my teachers in high school (in the 70s) was an ex-policeman, and he even mentioned the use of dubious tactics way back then in order to arrest and detain people. Claiming the presence of a “suspicious” package is right up that unethical alley; dispersing people exercising their freedom of speech by asserting that some sort of physical danger exists.
