Judge: Denver CAN Restrict PROTESTS.... BYE BYE FREE SPEECH!!! Hello 4th REICH!

[link to news.yahoo.com]

I have heard that the local police forces are gearing up for major 'civil unrest'.

For the undercover police dressed as anarchists. It's not looking good.

That's certainly been done before.

Free speech zones have been in effect for awhile. You can not protest in front of the White House anymore, or Bush's ranch in texas, they send you down the road to the so called Zone! I'm sure there are more examples, those are just the ones I know of.

Bunch of BS to me.

Too bad those running the show state wide don't have the balls to speak up and stop this. It is a federal thing however, so there isn't much can be done.

I will stay hiding up here in Boulder, however.

Send me some of that Boulder homegrown please. :)

Jefferson just let people in to hang out and party..

Wow...

No offense America, but you certainly the lion that whined like a kitten.

What a bunch of pussies, kind of looks good on you in a way, because you always talk such a big game...lol

In reality you're no better then a communist Russia, or a China.

Hell, even China had a Tiananmen Square...you guys are to whipped to even have that!

Hey AC, go forth and fornicate thyself with a large, blunt object without benefit of adequate lubrication!

You do realize that you're defending putting people in cages right?

Just making sure.

I have a feeling that when your founding fathers said "freedom of speech" and "freedom to assemble" that they meant the exact OPPOSITE of a people who would let the government put them in cages.

So basically you are saying that free speech isn't free...lol..that it's okay to speak your mind, as long as you are caged first far away from the impressionable sheep.

So by your logic it is also perfectly acceptable to ship people to the desert too, right?

And then they can say whatever they want all day long, as long as the government tells you where to say it...

I hope Minneapolis does the same thing.

I don't want to nearly come to blows with some feminazi like I almost did in New York in '04.

You damn protesters are like the unpopular kids in high school who crash a party you're not invited to.

Stay home and play video games. It's for the best.

I expect the "free speech cages" are a form of torture-even psychological torture was used long before the actual torture becomes the mainstay. Reminds me of some guy-what was his name??? This guy had lots of mouthpieces toting a party line just as absurd

mussolini compatriot

Lots of countries remember this guy right??? I am sure the Greeks do as well as some other groups-many died even on their land-they still stood against the Germans and the russian 'freedom fighters'-many paid a heavy price

Too many are going forward with blinders-dismissing the truth in front of their faces

Ultimately, they cannot handle it-they cannot believe it is this far off of what they believed...they watched the news and they keep their serials recorded...driving their SUVs or Hummers...thinking it a bad dream they will wake from


Sorry to say -it appears far worse than many thought

Many will march and many will be brought down-many will chant their new age mantras waiting for the world of peace-sold the art of war-only they failed to read the book...it is upon us and the days ahead will be great wailing and not just for this sham of politics

Go live in China, we don't want you here. Fascist.

Beijing sets up protest zones for Games

and being done as a matter of course anymore


These will be just as set up-in fact, it will be practically impossible to avoid a confrontation as they are geared up for it and will go all out to make sure one happens


Even if no one starts it on the attendees side-they others with their costumes on will!!!

Heads up folks

Obviously many could say the actual terrorists of 911 were very effective-very effective(they definitely hated our freedoms.."...can't be fooled again..." or can......

Maybe everybody should just not show up.

It goes with the idea of 'what-if-they-started-a-war-and nobody-came'?.

Think of the impact that would have. Just a thought.

ACLU must appeal this ruling by the Federal Judge; it should be appealed to the Supreme Court ASAP. To let this stand is:

:bushhitler:

And if the Supreme Court refuses, to obey this ruling is to acquiess to:

:hitler:

And to both the Judge and Der Fuhrer, I say:

you NAZI BASTARDS. I want my country back and I am about ready to create waves.

ahem...

google: Battle in Seattle


then SHUT UP!

In a way, the idea of the first amendment and the right to free speech and assembly has become even a more distant concept for the Republican convention in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

I've been meaning to start a thread about it. Still will, but the news out of Denver ought to thoroughly disgust believers in freedom and civil liberties in America for the time being, so it can wait.

But it deserves mention on this thread, what's going on in the other convention city besides Denver?

Well, here in Minneapolis, are supposedly progressive and liberal City Council recently passed an amendment to the city's long standing policy on policing of public assemblies.

They voted to allow the use of rubber bullets on protesters!

Yep, you heard me right. The elected officials of Minneapolis recently voted to allow the use of rubber bullets on protesters. Just in the nick of time for the Republican convention, now less than a month away.

These elected officials, sworn to uphold our Constitution, also found it in their infinite wisdom to do away with the Minneapolis ordinance, which happened to require providing medical attention to injured protesters.

So in this formerly progressive city, the politicians thought it a grand idea to gun down protesters with rubber bullets, and then deny them medical attention.

What country is this that I'm living in?

It's the USA. And there are people who are still concerned about civil rights and civil liberties, and they came out, and they protested and disrupted a meeting with the Minneapolis Mayor Rybak and there was a slight change of heart among the elected officials of Minneapolis.

Rubber bullets on protesters are once again banned!

But unfortunately, the new amendment that denies medical care to injured protesters still remains in place.

If you plan on protesting in the Twin Cities, you might want to bring your band-aids and aspirin, because if you're injured, you ain't getting no medical care from the city of Minneapolis. According to their heartless, soulless politicians.

I'm a pretty positive person on the powers of democracy and the future of this country. But all the maneuvering from our local politicians in anticipation of this Republican convention, to restrict civil liberties and freedoms, and institute a police state agenda, you might want to think twice about the idea of hosting a Presidential nominating convention in your home city. Because your formerly progressive politicians might end up showing an entirely different face. It is a democracy, and the residents of Minneapolis are going to remember these politicians who throw our civil liberties to the wind when we go into the ballot box this November.

If they are going to stifle the first amendment?

It may be coming time to exercise the second amendment.

Indeed. America is almost like Communist China, disguised as 'freedom'. Hell, even millions of Americans daily purchase Chinese commie goods from Wal-mart & other stores.
They support Communists from other countries by doing that.

Since no genuine American would make such an utterly Nazi comment, I must assume that you are a paid shill.

I am no such thing!

Just a good American who wants to attend the Republican Convention without having to punch a liberal.

Also, i heard yesterday that they have cleared the dockets in all the Denver courts for the week of the DNC to prosecute DNC related "crimes" ! :18:

Maybe China will let The Them borrow one of their mobile execution vans. That will speed things up in the courts.
