We have in our small town of Hemet. We had a quiet protest. Non-Violent.

We are in an authoritarian country… unfortunately. The 1st Amendment is under attack!

Kluwe has been outspoken for as long as knowing who he is for me. Thank you,Mer. Kluwe, I appreciate you.

Three cheers for Chris Kluwe !!! As much of a star as he was in the NFL, he is even more so as America's hero in exercising his freedom of speech and calling the MAGA movement for what it has turned into. And now we can await our new FBI Director whom Trump will expect to convert the Bureau into a modern day Gestapo. Kluwe has one Hell of a law suit for being arrested for exercising his Constitutional rights.

I’ve watched this a bunch of times but I’m still not sure what he did at the end. What was he arrested for?

Basically just approached the area he wasn't permitted to be in.

Oh wow! I thought he did something with his hands at the podium that I couldn’t see. I thought it was a public comment town hall type thing. Thank you.

Teach your children about what Chris did, as it was done by Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Ghandi, and as we did against the US War in Vietnam.

This IS the way to do Nonviolent Civil Disobedience.

So impressed!!! So proud!!!! It's too bad that this kind of courage DOES NOT EXIST in 90+% of our government (at all levels!), our media, our "religious" institutions, and to an embarrassingly substantial segment of our "citizens". Let's see how many more will stand up for truth.

This man should be admired. Why was he arrested?!! They just proved his statement to be the truth.

HB has a large far-right population that can get pretty rowdy. Not surprised this happened there. Good for Chris for speaking out, hope his lawyers can get charges dropped! Unless not parroting the MSGA line is already against the law there, Chris should still have the right to free speech. 1984 sure seems to be approaching fast!

So he was grabbed for approaching the board in the town hall meeting, anyone who did so would have been it wasn't because of what he said, but he was smart and knew that if he didn't get arrested no one would have noticed this episode so more power to him! We need more of this everywhere! Peaceful civil disobedience to protest the government
