Dear City Weekly: Trespassing is Trespassing

Yet another blog post from City Weekly confusing trespassing with something else.

This time, it's not shaving at BYU. The story goes that an unshaven student was asked to leave the library, and he refused. He was then escorted out of the library by campus police.

Much like the infamous Main Street Plaza kiss case last year, it was the actions of the people involved that caused them to be asked to leave. It was their refusal to leave that got the cops involved.

Refusing to leave private property when asked constitutes trespassing.

I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck that if I were to walk into City Weekly's offices and st down to read IN Utah This Week, I'd eventually be asked to leave. Should I refuse, I'd be willing to bet another paycheck that SLPD would show up.

Would City Weekly blog about me being arrested for reading IN Utah This Week?

Probably not.

P.S. I would never choose IUTW over CW. I'd rather root for the Yankees.
