Protesters Not Happy About Plan To Put Them In Cages At Democrat Convention
The plan right now is for those protesting the Democrat convention to be herded into pre-designated, wire-surrounded areas where nobody will see them.
City officials on Monday released additional details of an area for protesters during the convection, but an attorney for protest groups says they won’t be near delegates at the Pepsi Center.
City officials say the viewing area will be encircled by wire mesh and it will not be enclosed at the top. The area will use 50,000-square foot zone within a 350,000-square foot parking lot next to the Pepsi Center, the site of the convention.
It won’t be enclosed at the top?
Well. That was big of them.
I’m gonna go ahead and dub these “free speech cages.” As in snooty Democrats saying “We sure like it when you hippies vote for us, but we’d just as soon you stay in your free speech cages so we don’t have to hear you or smell you while you wave around your Che flags and chant about Bush killing babies.”
