NOM plays the victim: Knockin' the cops edition
Heather Curly from Queer Action Rhode Island:
“After NOM’s rally was over, the state trooper came over to tell us that we should begin clearing our people out. Brian Brown was right behind him to confront us, egging the state trooper on, and saying very condescending things like ‘he’s right, you don’t belong here.’ And then a great thing happened. The state trooper turned around and told him that ‘if he approached our side again he would have to leave or be arrested’ – that he needed to clear his side out too. He got very irritated by that, I could tell.”

National Organization For Marriage president Brian Brown:
"The biggest disappointment was that the Capitol Police, although they tried to keep order, failed so badly in keeping the crowds apart. We had a permit protecting our First Amendment right to speak and assemble on the South Steps today, and the police simply failed to protect those rights. We’ll be writing a letter to the Governor about the lack of adequate protection provided by the Capitol Police today."
