"I went there as a candidate for Congress; I'm not just some guy off the street. I deserve the respect to at least ask a few questions," Shotko said.At least he already has the correct attitude to be in Congress.

This jerk has the right to his opinion, no matter how offensive it may be. He does not have the right to interfere in the recruitment process, but I believe he has the right to protest.
It seems that 2,000 feet is a little excessive. Think how upset people would be if it were abortion protesters that were ordered to keep 2,000 feet from the clinic they were protesting, or if freepers were ordered to keep 2,000 feet from the people they were freeping.

This guy must be ignorant if he's going to talk to recruiters about anything other than joining.
He IS just some guy off of the street to them and IS NOT worthy of anything more than common courtesy or, apparently, an ass whipping.
To: marktwain
It's ok for a specific person who poses a threat, not for a group that has never been charged.

This guy went out of his way to be at this recruiting station. He is from the Scranton area, which is at least a 45 minute drive on the Interstate (81) from Hazleton. 2000 feet, which is less than 1/2 mile, shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah...this guy's a CommieLib, and a wanna-be Congresscritter, and
he's accusing the recruiters of lying. Brings to mind the old line about the pot and the kettle.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Well, I'm not sure if calling someone a liar and a baby killer is ACTUALLY asking a question, but hey what do I know, I'm just "some guy off the street".
What an a-hole!

"This jerk has the right to his opinion, no matter how offensive it may be. "
This isn't about "opinion", it's about getting in the paper for furthering his "candidacy". Peaceful assembly and demonstration of opinion does not include verbally abusing people who are just doing their jobs.
There are many avenues for this perspon to state his "opinion" without causing disruption and heaving verbal abuse like it was a campaign brochure.
I'm pretty close to concluding that all third parties, are liberals.

Police said Shotko walked into the station at 1:15 p.m. and told three recruiters they were cowards. He then asked them, "Why do you recruiters lie to kids?" He also said U.S. military personnel were killing innocent babies and civilians in Iraq, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Trooper David E. Balliet of the state police barracks in Hazleton.
If I understand the law correctly, calling someone a coward is considered "fighting words."
