Thank you, Chris! I stood there and watched that fool for, I guess, 2 hours. I'd move across the street, and sidle my way thru, the crowd, then move back across the street saying, "Scuse me," with people stopping me and saying, "Are you from Texas?"

I watched the police to in and out...I watched people hang over a balcony close by and offer him water and try to talk to him...and I watched him FINALLY get into the cherrypicker and ride down. It was one wild afternoon.

Just wish I could find my film...maybe someday. 'Til then, I'm gonna have this pic you provided.

Thanks again, Alice

what was he up there for?

 

[Alice]

He was protesting what he and his group's members feel as an infringement on their rights as fathers...like visitation, custody, etc. I think their group is pretty large and it's obviously quite active. He had an accomplice, Robin, but Robin got nabbed before he could make it to the ledge that Batman had perched himself on. Batman stayed up there all day long. He finally just wore out and allowed himself to be removed.

I applaud them. Judges in Georgia have been known to say, " a bad mother is better than no mother". Equal rights?
