Chris Young was arrested for asking a question about abortion at a PUBLIC FORUM in what is supposed to be a FREE country. Young also gave Kennedy a DVD about abortion at the forum...I guess the pro-abortion Brown medical school didn't like that either ...I heard that Brown's Ob/Gyn students are REQUIRED to learn how to perform abortions. Brown is a socialit atheistic horror of a place.

I attended the event and he was nit hauled off for asking questions, but rather the opposite. He was ranting incoherently about "planned parenthood trying to commit genocide." Dean Wing asked him several times to get to the question and gave him far more opportunity than the audience would have liked. This was an educational event, not a debate and Chris Young did nor handle himself with dignity and class, nor did he convince me he was a knowlegable and capable candidate.

Channel six did show both sides but chopped up the video quite a bit. If you watch the actual video questions as Chris Young asked them (on another channel), he was clear, reasonable, cogent, and every question was absolutely legitimate. I don't agree with his positions. "Patches" Kennedy is a despicable degenerate in my opinion. So I have way more respect for Mr Young. As to police hauling off people for asking questions. We used to read about that happening in other countries. Now it's here.
