Marine Arrested For Getting In Westboro Baptists’ Faces
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. — Police have arrested a Marine reservist who crossed a protest line in front of Tinker Air Force Base.
Ray Adam Modisette was booked into the Midwest City jail Friday on a complaint of interfering with official police process. His bail is set at $850.
Police Chief Brandon Clabes says the 20-year-old Shawnee resident was among about 150 people who demonstrated against a group of anti-military protesters from Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan.
Clabes says Modisette was upset that the church group was allowing an American flag to drag on the ground. He says the reservist crossed the street to confront Westboro members and ignored officers’ requests to return to his group.

I hope someone pays his bail-he should not be punsished for insulting those people.

March 17th, 2008 at 9:06 amWestboro Baptist’s should be arrested. Freedom of speech is wonderful and all, but these are the type of people who abuse that right and do nothing but act in a disgraceful manner. The Marine who stood up to them should be applauded, not jailed.

March 17th, 2008 at 9:31 amWhat crap, a bunch of CS cops if they actually prosecute.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:46 amThey won’t prosecute. They just had to make an example out of him in order to keep anything from escalating into all out violence. I’m sure the tensions were high enough for some good ol’ fashioned street brawlin’.

March 18th, 2008 at 6:59 amWhy wasn’t the officer jumping on their case for allowing the flag to drag on the ground?!? These people need some serious behavior modification along with a good ass kicking.
Let the Marine go! Act like right is right and wrong is wrong. Next time it would be great to see about 100 Marines cross the line and go after these puss oozing throbbing tumors.
