My crime? Talking too much about Occupy Wall Street (I'm not an Occupier, but as a blogger and journalist it strikes me as one of the most important stories out there -- hence the constant coverage), and talking too much about the controversial detainment without trial provisions contained in the FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would basically shred the Bill of Rights and subject American citizens to military police forces. The same level of civil rights protection that enemy combatants in a cave in Afghanistan receive!

We have free speech,... until you actually attempt to use it. Then you are attacked, arrested, and face ruin until you 'conform'.

You've got it. The Police in Huntington West Virginia to stay off a certain street and it was a public street. They could've arrested me under their say so laws.
