NEW YORK -- His hair so long a police officer called him "Jesus," Sebastian Licht said he set out Tuesday to celebrate his 22nd birthday, only to be swept up in one of the largest mass arrests in the nation's history.

He emerged two days later from court _ smelly, bleeding and determined to become the activist he says police feared he was.

Sort of a bizarro version of that time-worn favorite.."Lifelong Republican, voted for Bush, BUT...blah blah blah"

Walk it off!

I heard some 16 year old protestor on NPR who was whining about having to sleep in the makeshift detention area, and he had to sleep in a puddle, and he had to wipe his nose on his shirt....boo hoo hoo!

"Because I have long hair and a beard, they took me," he said.

Allrighty then!

Yeah, like "grimy" matters to these dweebs.

So, who was it, exactly, who forced these people to travel to NYC and act like numb tacos?

"one of the largest mass arrests in the nation's history"

Huh! Hyperbole anyone?

"So many of those people live by protesting. That's their excitement in life. They knew numbers were huge and it was record breaking."

Do they know that most Americans don't know and wouldn't care if they did know? It was expected, the usual suspects organized it, and ....... so what?

Actually it's not a 'so what' for the New York City Police that has to put up with it, but they'll make it through.

This sounds like total BS...long-haired, bearded normal guy just trying to get to the subway to get to his productive job...evil pigs drag him away...suddenly he becomes exactly what he has always looked like! Yeah right. Slacker.

It wasn't his looks that nailed him as a lib plant, it was his whine. Makes no diff to the MSM cause they have an agenda to push. I do like the other whines;I had to sleep in a puddle( a puddle of what?); I had to wipe my nose on my sleeve(there is no such thing as right to tissue). I just couldn't even begin to make up stuff this good.

"Wearing a Polo Sport Ralph Lauren shirt and khaki shorts, Licht described his 6 p.m. arrest Tuesday in Herald Square"

I think they cited him for being too preppy!!!! LOL!
