I am curious as to what would have happened if you grabbed the leash, put your foot hard on the jerks back and then pulled like heck on the strap? He offered it to you? Isn't that consent? It would have made a effective counter protest I would think!!
I wondered the same thing thinking someone should've obliged them, held the chain (although without the foot and yanking) and then started questioning the protestors in regards to the crimes these prisoners committed before they were detained. It would've made an effective counter-protest to hear the "anti-war" activists defend the atrocities the terrorists are committing.
Grab the leash and kick his ass!
Woulda been good for a laugh!
