So, Anybody in the thick of it??

[Marlin]

I haven't seen vids from either, I was just going off the accounts I heard on the radio this morning..

I'm getting another account now that the Police were completely professional in handleing it, The Hippies were the ones Who weren't..

I wasn't there I don't know,, I will say this though, Having enough experiance as an amature photo/vidieo bug,, Images can be altered to show what You want to be seen...

I seen the video and will put my money on the cops they told the drugged up POS hippies to leave several times. They resisted and got the smack down I will say that the cops had them pinned with no place to go for a while. They should have given them a way to dispearse and leave but hey sometimes stupid hurts. If they would have obeyed the lawful orders of the officers in the first place nothing would have happend to begin with.

When facing an army of officers in full riot gear with guns, teargas, pepper balls, pepper spray ect..... Logic says your tie die shirt and sandals are not going to be very effective when you charge them.

But hey what do I know.

If they would have obeyed the lawful orders of the officers in the first place nothing would have happend to begin with.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Lawful Order?

"If they would have obeyed the lawful orders of the officers in the first place nothing would have happend to begin with."
The ones they make up as they go for their convenience?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

"Lawful Order?"

Thank You. They continue to forget for whom they work. JZ can give you a first person account of the scene on Sunday Westy.

Define oppression???

If I want to block a major street in Denver so I can speak my mind and the cops tell me to move that is oppression???(You do realize that is what started it do you not??)

If I want to knock off my local bank and the cops arrest me that is oppression??

I think you are confusing oppression with anarchy they are very different.

If am driving from one place to another and a bunch of hippies have the road blocked because they think I am ruining the planet with my truck. I then feel "oppressed" should it be legal for me to get out, lock the hubs, throw it in 4x4 and drive over the bastards???

Or should I just remain "oppressed" and sit in my truck for hours on end untill the hippies decide they are done and I can drive on???

I would prefer the cops told the hippies they can speak their mind but have no right to keep me from getting to my destination. The same cops also would not allow me to lock the hubs and drive over said hippies see how that works.

What if it were us protesting the Dem's stance on the second amendment? If we were told to leave the area they "told" us we could use and then started spraying us with pepper spray and arresting us? I guess that would be OK.

I may not agree with their message, but I swore an oath to defend their rights, unto my death. It is not something I take lightly. I believe in the Bill of Rights. Not just the ones I find convenient. And not just the ones I agree on the message.

We all have the same rights and the First is the first for a reason. Without that one, we have no say in how our lives are "run" by those we "elected". The Police on the line are pawns and were given an order. It is the ones behind the scenes who you don't see who are controlling things. Same as Re-create '68. Spagnolo gave several orders to protesters to stand down and then stopped when it got out of hand.

Yeah, If You think about it They are trying to oppress the city,, Not working like they had planned. But they are trying.. I have no problem with They're free speech, in fact I haven't laughed this hard in a long time,, These people are not the brightest of bulbs.. Let's face it, They came here feeling "oppressed" and nothing was going to change that..

The Only thing they are up to now is looking for the oppertunity to do damage, and no matter what they say, that Is the real reason they are here..So if the Cops "step" on they're toes before they are able to to any,, Kudos to the Cops...

[Marlin]

Oh and I have hear spagttio on the radio more than a few times,, If You believe that about him,, I have some land in New Orlean I need to get rid of by Monday,,

That guy is a classic paraniod...

3 words: Free Speech Zones. What's next? Freedom from invasion of privacy zones?
