Man Arrested For Protesting Against War In Iraq

A local man was handcuffed and arrested after standing at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue in protest against the war in Iraq.

[redacted] was standing near the road in Ferndale last week holding a sign that read "Honk if you want Bush Out" according to the Daily Tribune. [redacted] lost the sign after police confiscated it and placed him under arrest.

[snip]

Ferndale police seized the sign asking people to honk because it was becoming too noisy in an already busy part of town, according to the paper's reports.

[snip]

[redacted] remained in custody until his wife paid $500 to bail him out.

Feel safer yet?
