The jolly red man asks numerous times, “Why am I being arrested?” After a minute, they tell him that he was chalking the sidewalk.

Georgia Town Ordering Gun Ownership Undaunted by Massacre
posted 12/23/2012, 6:48 PM (Bloomberg) [Category: General] Kennesaw, Georgia, is a quiet Atlanta suburb of newer subdivisions and strip malls around a huddle of older homes and storefronts. It is asking churches to ring their bells 26 times today for the victims of last week’s elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
