Freedom of speech 1, Fidel Castro 0
The cuban baseball team is in Puerto Rico playing at the WBC at the moment. Apparently there have been protests against Castro by fans at some of the games. There were a few last night, and it actually caused an international incident. Read about the incident from a guy who was in the middle of it here. I love the part how the cuban agents tried to silence the guy with the sign (which said things like Perotado Si, Castro No) but were later arrested and removed by Puerto Rican police (above, the fat guy in grey is a Cuban agent).
Apparently, Homeland Security had no problem with the protest. And once the Cuban agents got to the police station, they were given a lecture on free speech by the Puerto Rican police. How great is that? Agents of the coward Fidel Castro are lectured to like little children? You can silence people in your own country, Fidel, but you can't do it in the US or Puerto Rico. Let's hear it for freedom of speech!
