| Dangerous Situation Developing for Donks in Denver |
| 2008-03-21 |
| Denver could face a "dangerous situation" on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, war protesters said Thursday, after losing a coveted permit for Civic Center to the convention host committee. "When things blow up because the police have to enforce a permit that the Democrats got, donÂ’t blame us for that," said Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer for the Re-create 68 Alliance. "Blame the Democrats for trying to silence dissent in the city of Denver." The lottery for permits to protest, pray or hold other events in city parks during the DNC Aug. 24 through 28 resumed Thursday after the city bungled the drawing Tuesday by accidentally leaving out some of the applicants' names. But when Jenny Anderson, event planner for the Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee, won the permit for Civic Center for a kick-off Aug. 24, Spagnuolo accused the committee of creating a "very serious, dangerous situation . . . for everybody." Re-create 68 - which has promised demonstrations that will rival those at the bloody 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago - will be at Civic Center on Aug. 24, with or without a permit, he said. The group, which is expecting up to 50,000 protesters from across the country, plans to march from Civic Center to the Pepsi Center, where the convention will be held, on Aug. 24, even though a parade route or a security zone hasnÂ’t been announced. Some people observing the lottery attributed it to karma. |

| #11 New York, DC and even Seattle should have lots of really good intel in these "folks" (if Denver wants to use it). And since this squid has made a threat of violence I don't see why it should take much to put he and his friends in the jug for a while. I know, wishful thinking on my part. |

| #7 Maybe Denver can borrow some water cannon from the Germans. Why waste our precious water? Lock and load live ammo. Use the bodies as compost. See? A green solution. They become carbon neutral and they get recycled! |

| #5 let's try out the sonic and heat-ray non-lethal systems? Let the Donks vote no, then suffer the criticisms (and trial-lawyer class action suits) over the real casualties. |

| #3 *Ahem* Maybe Denver can borrow some water cannon from the Germans. (Saw them disperse crowds pretty well in Frankfurt in the early 1970's. :-D ) Yeah, you can use regular fire hoses, but what if |
