Trespassing charges were dropped against two people who wore anti-Bush t-shirts at the president’s speech in West Virginia on July 4. Nicole and Jeff Rank were removed from the event in restraints by members of the Secret Service after revealing shirts that read “Love America, Hate Bush.” Charleston Municipal Judge Carole Bloom dismissed the charges because the city ordinance did not include trespassing on the statehouse grounds.
