    Did the police jump the gun?

    Did the police jump the gun and arrest before any crime was committed on mere suspicion??

      It takes guts to have an LGBTQ event in Idaho, specifically because the hills there are crawling with anti-social "patriots" who would like nothing better than to bash some heads in.

      Now are these guys THEM guys or did they have a different reason for organizing to attend the rally? To counter-protest a "don't hate gays y'all" message? So much for living and letting live in Idaho, hey?

      Don't make up charges out of thin air. But don't let these guys off the hook either. Would not surprise me if many of them already have arrest records.

          so all the Californians, Washington State and Oregon folks that are moving to Idaho THEM guys?

          how about all the Celebrities that have moved there or have residences there?

              The police were merely protecting an (eventually) endangered species.

                  Idaho wasn't bothering anyone. The queers and steers came to them.
