If you’re not a terrorist, if you’re not a threat, prove it… This is the price you pay to live in free society right now. It’s just the way it is.

Santa Claus arrested for writing “Love” and other peaceful phrases on the sidewalk with chalk

Via FreeKeene.com

Santa Claus, also known by his friends as James Peterson, was arrested after spreading holiday cheer and chalk with young people in front of the Texas capitol building on the 21st. An occupy activist who was giving out chalk to children while dressed as Santa was well received in the plaza, but as he left, Texas DPS officers chased him down and handcuffed him. The crowd appears shocked, one woman yelling out in confusion, “You’re arresting Santa Claus?!”

Santa’s official charges, according to the Huffington Post, are “criminal mischief,” which is essentially a catch all charge, and “evading arrest.”

Though there were dozens of people chalking - Santa was passing out chalk so that children could participate - he and one other activist were the only ones arrested. The second victim of the Texas Department of Safety was Cory Williams, who was arrested after chalking “Free Santa” on the sidewalk while Santa was in handcuffs.

Ronald Reagan once said that the most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." That may have been true at one point in time but I think this article shows that we can now give that dubious distinction to the phrase, "I'm from the police department and I'm here to help."
