National disgrace
From WTNH in Connecticut:
Two spectators at a high school basketball game are considering legal action after they say they were kicked off the court for not standing up for the National Anthem.
The incident happened last week at New Britain High School during the Class-S basketball tournament between Bloomfield and Old Saybrook.
Jeffrey Green and Aaron Johnson say their First Amendment rights were violated after they did not stand for the National Anthem and were subsequently asked to leave the premises. [...]
“In order to get to us, he had to go over about four or five rows that had fans in there that weren’t standing up,” Johnson explained.
You guessed it, they were singled out because they were lucky.
[p.s. Make sure you watch the video (same page). The part where the high school principal marches out three (!!!) security guards to confront the news team is priceless.]
