I read about this controversy in the newspapers a couple of times but didn't know where the ter Horst house was actually located until I stumbled across it on one of my runs.
I don't remember what the problem was exactly, but man, he must have been pretty angry.

This caption should be understood as an inevitably subjective interpretation, as I did not see the initial moment of this man's arrest. There is no definitive evidence of what exactly his suspected "crime" was and it would be even more erroneous to conclude the photograph is evidence that he had deliberately broken any laws.
The photograph shows one of the nearly 900 arrests that took place as the protest continued into the evening. The demonstration was notable for its diverse participants, including many older citizens who felt a moral obligation to engage in this act of civil disobedience despite the significant personal risks. I wanted to capture the physical reality of the state's response, showing the methodical removal of a protester who, like many others that day and whatever the suspected "crime" he was technically arrested for, had evidently refused to remain silent in the face of a law that criminalises conscience.

Main Street America depicts a peaceful small-town scene shattered by the arrival of heavily armed government agents. Belle and her dog become the focus of state aggression simply because she belongs to a group resisting the banning of books. By showing authoritarian power invading an ordinary American street, the artwork warns how quickly freedom can erode when governments label dissent as terrorism. Belle’s quiet refusal to comply symbolizes the fragile but vital courage needed to defend intellectual and personal liberty.
