Net Neutrality Activists Assaulted by security at FCC

On the 10th of February, net neutrality activsts unfurled a banner reading "85% of Republican voters support net neutrality" in front of a Republican FCC commissioner inside the FCC. In response they were tackled and assaulted by security guards, who in turn threatened to charge THEM with assault. Even outside the FCC's headquarters security guards continued to harass activists.

FCC Commission Tom Wheeler (used to work for Cable TV) now says he is for Title II "common carrier" reclassification of ISP's, but Comcast and other ISP's are pushing back, no doubt callling in old favors. Mr Wheeler need to cut to the chase and put the ball in the endzone, not get himself whistled out by the people for delay of game.
