  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Be that as it may, given that the Imperial March has become a staple of college bands at football games, kind of wondering about the protest value. The Colonel Bogey March would have more protest value, but the connotation would be lost on many today, as would the Liberty Bell march.

The main question is if he was detained because he was playing the march or if he was doing something else while playing it that got him arrested.
