Some straight people don&#039;t even believe in marraige, just live together. Some married people cheat or have open marraiges. Melissa says marraige isn&#039;t a government issue, Amoradocat says marraige isn&#039;t a religious issue. So what kind of an issue is it? What about things like insurance or other certain rights that heterosexual married peopele are entitled to that homosexual couples are not? Isn&#039;t that descrimination? How does telling someone else who they are allowed to love make your relationships any better or worse? How does it really affect you at all?

The issue here, is not him recording the incident, although that is what he apparently wants it to be about.The real issue seems to me, is a rich kid who was busted drinking under age at a party 2 years ago and charged with false informing and now gets busted again and thinks that he is above the law can get away with cussing at and assaulting a police officer.

Ben Ashenburg was arrested 2 years ago(2008). Found this when I googled his name.

It is, however illegal to drink while underage, to assault a police officer and to resist arrest. All of which he was charged with.

He was asked to stop. Being asked to stop doing something (illegal or not) does NOT justify his other actions. He became beligerant and was arrested for/charged with battery to a police officer, and underage drinking and resisting arrest. It is simple.

Why even bring him into this? He has nothing to do with it. And he is not even muslim.

Also, maybe she is real close to being 18. Don&#039;t just assume you know the reasons...anyway, hope she is ok.

It used to be a nice place to go. Yes, at one point the clientel changed, but that can happen to any bar. I have not been in there in a long, long time but it wsn&#039;t always that way. However, that does not give law enforcement the right to violate peoples civil rights and harass them. If there is a problem, they need to address it in a legal way, not make up stories and violate civil rights and create more problems even if it was deserved. It just makes St. Joe County Excise look bad.
