A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit concerning a man detained for playing the “Imperial March” behind National Guard troops patrolling DC.

Washington, DC resident Sam O’Hara noticed a couple of national guard soldiers patrolling the streets, and he decided to follow them around playing the Star Wars “Imperial March” on a portable speaker.

For this he was handcuffed and detained for about 20 minutes. Now he has reached a settlement where the government will pay him an undisclosed amount of money in compensation.

    Everyone involved in his detention should have been fired and charged with kidnapping but the US ruling class will always defend the rights of its thugs to oppress the people. I say get rid of all the US state-sponsored terrorists and replace them with asylum seekers.
