Compare Denver Warehouse Outfitted For Holding Convention Protestors To A "Gulag"

Big Bid''ness has been so successful in gradually eroding our rights that the American public doesn''t even realize we have a constitutional right to public dissent and instead thinks of dissent as "trouble making" that should be punishable by imprisonment in a warehouse, without due process. At least the peoples of the former Soviet block put up some resistance to being denied basic human rights. In America, we attack people who do that. I hope that Denver makes Seattle look like a church picnic.

Would you want some nut case throwing a gernade into the stand? You could be close enough to lose an arm. Metal detectors for anyone entering the building is a must

In this day and time it is completely predictable that both the Dems and the GOP, and special interest groups loyal to either, will spend big bucks to push the line and the limit to disrupt each other''s convention in any way that attracts a TV camera. The ''68 Chicago convention proved the power of disrupting conventions in affecting national politics. Denver would be foolish NOT to plan in advance for what they KNOW is coming. I expect the same procedures will be implemented weeks later at the GOP convention.

Only "approved" protests allowed? Looks like life in the new ObamaNation starts in Denver!

Not a bad idea. Those that try to distrupt the convention will be asked to leave. Those that wont will go the the dog pound. They will be processed but it might take a day of two depending on the count. Best advice dont cause any trouble and you have nothing to fear. You can protest just not there. Sharpton and jackson might me the only two held. That would be funny. The DNC is not a black or white affair. Caution high voltage

...Rough shod and *** hard to justify, It will be a SHOCKING experience. With no outside access from lawyers and such, abuse of high energy weapons is a logical conclusion. Wanna bet that there are no watchdog cameras? Boy oh boy, diversion and harassment become the only good protest strategy. Screw ''em, Guerrilla tactics and practical jokes folks.
