Fan Removed from Yankees Stadium for Using the Bathroom During "God Bless America" Settles for $22,000 Without admitting liability, the Yankees, NYPD, and NYC settled with Bradford Campeau-Laurion, the man removed from Yankee Stadium for attempting to use the bathroom during "God Bless America." Campeau-Laurion will be paid $10,001 and his attorneys (the New York Civil Liberties Union) will be paid $12,000 as a part of the settlement.
The suit was filed in federal court and claimed that Campeau-Laurion was the victim of religious and political discrimination when he was punished for not staying in his seat during "God Bless America."
The stipulation, judgment, and order is available on Findlaw here.
Campeau-Laurion sued the NY Yankees and New York city after being ejected from Yankee's stadium. He had attempted to visit the restroom during the 7th inning stretch rendition of "God Bless America." Upon being told that he could not leave his seat until the song ended, Campeau-Laurion responded that he did not care about "God Bless America" and attempted to leave. Following this statement, two officers pinned his arms behind his back and escorted him to the exit. Allegedly, one of the officers told Campeau-Laurion to "get out of my country."
I hate Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams, Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, the BJ Hunnicut guy, brussel sprouts, the Boston Red Sox, commies and well, lawyers.

Wow that's a hoot. It too me forever to figure out who the hell Doohan was. He was really young there. I kept waiting for the brogue.
You know he got shot up pretty bad on D-Day.
He looks ok in that squaw outfit.
It ain't Gunsmoke, but DailyMotion has the clip from Big Bad Mama with Angie Dickinson and Captain Kirk in the buff.
Hey Trooper; did ya see this?

Huh. I recognize him, but this all seems like a foreign language to me.
Funny dialogs, though! Hee.
OK, now show us the Gunsmoke clip with Uhura.
