Ben & Jerry’s Co-Founder Ben Cohen Burns Bill of Rights Outside Department of Justice

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen set fire to a replica of the Bill of Rights Thursday outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

The businessman, activist, and philanthropist led a protest outside the DOJ to criticize the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and emphasize the importance of a free press.
