To the Editor:

Your violent video piece (“Kids shooting kids,” page A1, Jan. 15) is replete with the old and typical responses and actions of ignorant squelchers of constitutionally protected freedoms and creative young people.

Neither the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, the Brunswick police nor the library administration has the constitutional authority to ban these creative and peaceably gathered young people from filming on public property.

These anti-constitutionalists can only harass and cause these young people to take them to court, which is a typically sick ploy on the part of those who dislike the particular products of creativity and seek to officiously dictate unto others.

Think I’m wrong? The American Civil Liberties Union will tell you I’m right.

Here’s their statement on the matter: http://www.aclu.org/freespeech/ know-your-rights-photographers
