Zuma Dogg's Free Speech Rights assailed by Occupy LA Mob

Zuma Dogg with CD 11 City Councilman Bill Rosendahl.
From Zuma Dogg at Occupy LA today ** We will post video shortly---Scott Johnson.

VIDEO: Zuma Dogg is "attacked" by ANGRY OCCUPY LA crowd, as they try to prevent his free speech in a public park.

In this video from 10/28/11, Zuma Dogg set up his amp, to sing and deliver his political message (as protected by the U.S. Constitution). As soon as he began, he was quickly surrounded by an angry mob, who tried to prevent him from expressing his own message. The attempts to prevent the "Jackie Robinson" of Free Speech exercise (@ZumaDogg) included encroachment; shoving; pushing; shouting in close proximity/blocking my camera and movement; continually shutting off my amp; screaming at me what I was allowed to do -- and how I was allowed to do it; stealing the power cord to my amp, at which time I was told I could have it back "IF" certain conditions were met; and you can hear, when I am allowed a moment to start speaking, I do so in a regular/non-shouting tone...then the crowd further harasses and I have to try to get on top of the mob that is directly in front of me. It is a big park. No reason my movements and expression had to be limited/impinged.

FREE SPEECH IS A UNIVERSAL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ZUMA SAID OR IF HE MADE TOO MUCH NOISE, BUT THE CROWD THAT BROUGHT HIM DOWN DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT. I'M SORRY TO ZUMA THAT THIS HAPPENED. HE'S NOT THE ENEMY THAT SO TRY TO MAKE HIM BUT ONE MORE VIEWPOINT IN OUR FIGHT AS U.S. CITIZENS TO BE RESPECTED AND HEARD. I HOPE ZUMA IS ABLE TO GO BACK BECAUSE I THINK HE HAS AS MUCH RIGHT AS ANYONE TO VOICE HIS VIEWS. I SUPPORT THIS MOVEMENT BECAUSE NO ONE HAS ORGANIZED TO REACH THE MASSES AS THIS GROUP HAS WE ALL SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT PEOPLE ARE JOINING HANDS TO FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS AGAINST THIS CORRUPT GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE CONTROL AND DOMINANCE.
