The Eagan Mayor is an idiot. These people incite others to break the law and he calls it free speak. I hate these people and wish Eagan had the courage to
cite the drivers who honk their horns illegally. Horns are NOT free speach, they are a federally mandated safety appliance with specific state statutes governing their use. This protest is illegal and should be stopped, breaking the law is not free speach it's illegal activity.

The specific statute is here:

169.68 HORN, SIREN.
(a) Every motor vehicle when operated upon a highway must be equipped with a horn in good working order and capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 200 feet. However, the horn or other warning device must not emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound or a whistle. The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to insure safe operation, give audible warning with the horn, but shall not otherwise use the horn when upon a highway.

The fact the City of Eagan turns a blind eye to this clear violation of law does not make it legal or proper. I hope that this protest and the illegal use of horn does not result in someone getting killed there because they ignored a horn because of these protestors.

sorry but having my safety jeapardized is not free speach..........and the protestors presence there on the day I deposited my paycheck is why I no longer bank in Eagan.

I agree, we need peace. Peace through force. These liberals are exactly why the Islamic extremists are killing Americans, both abroad and at home. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

I once blasted these goofballs with my airhorn. They nearly jumped out of their skin. I'm sure they thought I was supporting them.

Also, they are illiterate morons. On more than one occasion I have witnessed them holding their signs UPSIDE DOWN! Pics to prove it too

Watch for my finger in about 20 minutes...

Peace? How about protesting the killing of millions of unborn each year?

Good for thse folks, they are no different than the pro-life, pro-military etc demonstrators who exercise their freedom of speech through similar means. It's one of the great things about our country and what many people have died for. From the tone of other posters however, freedom of speech only applies to causes they agree with. Shame on you, there are valid reasons to question thewar in Iraq and considering ending the one in Afghanistan. Obama is wrestling with these issues right now. Lets pray he gets it right, but if he doesn't it won't be for lack of effort.

No, it'll be because he's stupid and inexperienced.

Daily Horoscope for December 4

Libra

You're at your most idealistic and romantic today, which is saying something. You have no desire to come into contact with brutal reality unless you have absolutely no choice in the matter. Instead, you want to float away into a world of your own, preferably accompanied by someone utterly wonderful. However, don't fall into the trap of kidding yourself about something or someone, especially if you know full well that this will break your heart further down the line.
