Most including myself, didn't know what was going on in those incidents.<BR/><BR/>I saw on a side street, police shoot something. I Couldn't see people demonstrating, from my view.<BR/><BR/>If you stayed on the main path, you wouldn't know what went on.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-47043464832544580082008-09-01T22:41:00.000-04:002008-09-01T22:41:00.000-04:00Face it.

She is known by millions of people on radio and satellite TV. THis will only energize her. She had a similar experience in Burma a few years back, almost got killed.NEWSGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985481708249946300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1792796610051066272008-09-01T22:02:00.000-04:002008-09-01T22:02:00.000-04:00btw..last week during the DNC convetion, ABC's Es...btw..last week during the DNC convetion, ABC's Essa Eslocker was on the phone on the sidewalk when he got basically manhandled and pushed out into the street by a cop only to be told that he was impeding traffic so he had to be arrested. Those police should be under investigation for abuse of power although that said, I'm sure that they were given permission to be heavy handed..I added that to the link I created with your post..<BR/>btw.. also captured on video!<BR/><BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-68132151913710358232008-09-01T21:44:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:44:00.000-04:00robbie just posted it so I had to follow him here ...robbie just posted it so I had to follow him here as I could not create a link on his blog for some reason.

I posted about raids of homes of those organizing a peaceful protest of the RNC-- SWAT team officers w AK47 type assault rifles drawn, entered homes, had residents on the ground & handcuffed while they took whatever they wanted- laptops, journals, and print material a few were arrested & charged with intent to riot.<BR/><BR/>No dissent allowed in the Republican circles!<BR/>An open forum for all who agree-ONLY.<BR/><BR/>This is most disturbing... just short of Communist China's invitation to get a permit to protest, and then never approving or issuing (not one) permit.<BR/><BR/>Any bets on MSM not reporting on this topic whatsoever?<BR/>After all Veterans for Peace & many Iraq war vets led a 3 blocks long group of protestors in the streets of Denver- calling for an end to the Iraq war & we never heard about that , either.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads upFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-51256873803976111962008-09-01T21:06:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:06:00.000-04:00CNN just reported 10,000 people and a *small* numb...CNN just reported 10,000 people and a *small* number of people arrested that broke away from the main group and caused mischief.
