A US man was arrested after climbing on top of a convenience store roof to serenade commuters with his musical protest of high gasoline prices.
Jay Weinberg, 29, got to the roof of the Family Express and, above pumps dispensing fuel at $3.78per gallon, performed his ditty called 'Price Gouge'n.' Dozens of supporters chanted: "I can't afford it. I'm banging on my dashboard. I can't believe they think I'm a fool." The performance lasted about 15 minutes before three police officers arrived and arrested Weinberg on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct.
Police said he was cooperative. The crowd, made up of Weinberg's friends and other people who just happened to be pumping gas, continued singing.
