A man has been arrested in downtown Brunswick after disrupting a Tea Party protest against the Democrats' healthcare reform plan. Around 20 members of the Golden Isle Tea Party Patriots and other participants were holding signs and waving at passing cars in front of the main post office. First Coast News was there when Zack Lyde from Brunswick walked up shouting at the group and started a verbal confrontation with protesters. When a Brunswick police officer asked Lyde to leave, he refused. As officers tried placing him under arrest, he attempted to wriggle out of their grasp. Read more here.

Good Job Glynn County police. You stopped a riot and solved a mass murder all with a week. We are proud of you.

He said that those protestors didn't care of other people? Say what? That's EXACTLY why those protestors were there for their concern over the course this nation is being led down by the Statists, and the Statist willingness to STEAL our Freedom from us.
The guy got what he deserved. And dosen't look like he's missed too many meals either. Probably a VICTIM of Affirmative action and doesn't like free people speaking their minds.
Too bad...
Dr. Phil
I agree with all that you said but I would also like to add that he probably got paid to do this.

yea an Obama is trying to raise more money to pay more people to to do what this guy did...i got a email from his website saying they needed money to fight the townhall protesters.i sighed up at the website so i could know what obama was doing.

Yes Texas where men are men and sheep are scared lol
wonderkatt
WHY WAS THIS MAN ARRESTED? WAS IT BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK AND AGAINST THE TEABAGGERS? SEEMS TO ME HE WAS WITHIN HIS RIGHTS.
Watching Eagle
No Wonderkatt, it was because the Tea Partiers had taken a permit to demonstrate in public, the other man didn't. Pure and simple as that, your move, are you going to raise the race card now?

It's called Disordery Conduct, Verbal Harassment, Failure to Obey the lawfull order of a Peace Officer, Obstructing a Peace Officer & Resisting Arrest. Anything else you are confused about. BTW IF you didn't see the BLACK Police Officer, take another look at the video
PBALABAMA
He was arrested for violation of a City Ordnance. It's no more complicated than that. The portestors had a permit, he did not. Then, he would not listen to the Officer. You Libs sure have a lot to learn about law and order.

Do you think there might have been a possibility of violence errupting if this guy kept on yelling? I'm suggesting the violence could have come from either side of the issue. The police make judgement calls about these type of things.
John in So Texas
He didn't have a permit, maybe you should watch the video, before you spout off!.
magpie
when a law enforcement officer tells you to do something ... its best to comply ... this is what happens if you don't ... get a clue
mara123
he needed a permit .
Buster
Because he was getting in people's faces and yelling. In the eyes of the cops he was too aggressive. All the cops did was ask him to move and he wouldn't. He was asked several times. Try getting in people's faces in NYC and yelling at them. The same thing would happen. GET REAL.

This is what the Democrats like to see in their party. People that or not to bright and easy to manipulate.
Maewest
Whatever he was paid to do that just got spent on his bail.

Why is it always Obama supporters? Note from where the violence really stems.

People all over this country are going crazy over the tea party movement. I would like to know where these people are while PETA is giving kids bloody un-happy meals and code pink is disrupting court rooms. Would anyone really think they can just walk in to a sanctioned protest and act like a fool? At the end it also comes back to respecting our police officers... this man showed no respect for the job and duties of those officers. Real people that need help are now cast asode because they have to tazzer some nut...
Gwoggie
The should have tazzed him
JimIMC
I did not agree with that mans political position, however, I don't think he should have been arrested. Does he not have freedom of speech? Why would he or anyone else need a permit to protest? If need permits to protest our government or support it, we have lost our right of free speach already. Another thing that bothered me was how willing the officers were to arrest this man. How much power and authority have we given our officers? Too much it looks like. Do police take an outh to uphold the Constitution?
ledbythnose
Jessy and Al will be on this right away. The Man didnt do the brotha right. I hope they took him by Mcdonalds on the way to the tank, he sure looked like he could use a happy meal.

Another dem whale with a big mouth!! Who's surprised? He can't let others speak their minds! Wow!! Imagine if that had been the way with the war protestors the last 7 years! NOBODY TRIED TO STOP THEM!!
grandmother

Thank God for that policeman. THANK YOU SIR. I think some of these THUGS think now that Obama's president, they can do anything and get by with it. NOT THAT TIME! It's ashame that people can't stand on the street and protest without some WILDMAN coming around. THANKS TO THE POLICEMEN!!!
Eyesis
Here! Here! The policeman did right!! He did fulfill his role unlike the so-called cop in Northern Virginia. He claim's this isn't America anymore. One more thanks to the officer doing his job.

Just another ignorant democrat shooting his mouth off! Brave against little old ladies but not too brave against the tazer! Courage of his convictions? I think NOT!

Too bad the guy doesnt understand we are fighting for his rights too.

Job well done,this is a very good video for law enforcement training.
leebob
He tryed to tell the police he was black and Holder is his attorney, good policework, they did not buy into his BS.
SandraR
This guy is a very large man trying to intimidate an old lady, as most COWARDS of this ilk, he did not selected a like sized man to scream and wave his finger. The police were very professional using their training to contain the situation without anyone being harmed.
Essex Class
The guy should be lucky he's still breathing free air. Any other country would have had this guy looking up from a very deep hole.

What no race card???
GRuss
I'm sure it's coming.

Too bad they didn't taze the bro.
