Security Makes U.S. Conventions Virtual Fortresses

Unread postby mattduke » Sat 23 Aug 2008, 23:43:36

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')wo U.S. cities will become virtual fortresses during the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions, protected by airplanes, helicopters, barriers, fences and thousands of police officers, National Guard troops and Secret Service agents.

The inevitable weakness of an eye is that it must be fixed upon a target to be effective, becoming blind to the objects against which they are not affixed.

Not that I am suggesting anything beyond the vitual futility of "total" awareness, of course...

Yes, keep those protesters in check. Wouldn't want a replay of the 1968 democratic convention would we?

And the Seattle Seven,featuring Jeff "The Dude" Dowd. 8)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he list of groups promising protests in Denver is longer than a 50-state roll call, ranging from a 1960s-throwback militant anti-war protest group outside the Pepsi Center to a disgruntled faction of Hillary Clinton supporters inside.

Pro-marijuana protesters took over a park for two hours Sunday. The local Wiccan caucus has invited delegates to a "pagan prayer circle."

Meanwhile, a women’s activist group, WomenCount, has lined up Clinton as the headline speaker for a Tuesday rally expected to draw thousands, which would be a huge crowd if it weren’t the same week as Obama Jam.

Presumably, some of the Clinton loyalists will then decide whether to ditch Obama and head to the mountains till after, say, Nov. 4.


I assume there'll be Free Speech Zones somewhere. "Give us Hillary! We want oppression, not tyranny!"
