Biden’s Staff And False Imprisonment

It is against the law to hold a person against his will. If a private citizen is held by another and is not able to leave then the person is falsely imprisoned. Looks like VP Joe Biden’s staff is guilty of doing just that. At a Democrat fundraiser in the home of a wealthy donor, the Biden staff put a reporter in a room and secured him there so that he would not be able to talk to the guests.

Scott Powers was the pool reporter for the event but when he arrived he was told that the VP and Senator Bill Nelson were not there yet and he would have to wait for them to arrive. He was placed in a small room and a staffer stood guard at the door.

It does not matter why these staffers put him in the closet. The fact is, they falsely imprisoned him. If they did not want him at the event until the politicians arrived then they should have told him to leave or wait outside. Then he would have been free to go. While one could argue that he might have been free to leave, there was a guard at the door and the impression is that he was being held there.

The real issue for me (and it is an issue that the staff of a politician would feel it is OK to do this) is that the reporter did not just walk out. A real man would have told them he was not staying in a closet and then left the event or waited outside.

Where have all the real men gone?
