no, they didn't arrest them, technically. they detained them. Only one they
put in handcuffs. and of course it would suck if they actually did harass
people, but they can always just NOT show up looking like Jeremy....There
will plenty of people there who simply can not look like him because we
can't grow natural beards....I really doubt anyway will be turned away, but
its an interesting thought!
