Sounds like a #MAGA man was being an a-hole (what else is new)!

One arrested at peaceful “#NoKings” protest in #NashvilleTN

"Metro Nashville Police officers arrested a masked counter protester carrying what appeared to be a handgun and a '#DontTreadOnMe' flag at the 'No Kings' protest at Bicentennial Park during Saturday’s 'No Kings' protest in Nashville.

"No shots were fired.

"Kase Cosgrove, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and safety volunteer attending the protest, said he approached the man after other protesters told him the man was armed and spitting and shoving people while walking through the crowd.

"Cosgrove said he walked toward the man and saw him tapping on what appeared to be a handgun and pulling it out of its holster to show people he was armed. Cosgrove approached him and attempted to talk to him but three police officers quickly arrived, retrieved the weapon and put the man in handcuffs.

"Cosgrove said the protest — part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration — has been peaceful and fittingly musical, being in Music City.

"Thousands of people attended the protest, lining the sidewalks along Jefferson Street and Rosa Parks Blvd. and walking through Bicentennial Park after a brief gathering at the park’s amphitheater. Cheers, musical instruments and car horns echoed up and down the street.

"Protesters ranged in age from young adults to the elderly, and many people brought children and dogs.

" 'Everybody else is being chill,' said Cosgrove. ' . . . He was trying to cause problems.'

"Protesters yelled at the man as police put him into an MNPD golf cart. Cosgrove was among them, shouting, 'You got tread on!' "

@aral Nobody can "enclose" MIT/BSD software, because the original is still out there. SQLite is free, FreeBSD is free, Scheme (depending on impl) is free. MySQL and MongoDB are a pain in the ass because they're """free""" but encumbered.

But it's not practical to release every application you make as this week's variant of GPL, you want to make a few bucks by selling software.

I don't care what corps do, but indie devs are people too.
