What an apt metaphor, while the Democrats meet to battle over which party gets to run the country and defend the Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights, Freedom of Speech is confined to a wire fence, a cage; 700 feet away from the convention center, where it cannot contaminate the politcians.
When politicians fear free speech and are willing and able to effectively silence their detractors, the Bill of Rights is dead and should be given a decent funeral.
So long old friend, it was nice having you around!
DENVER (AP) - A small group of protesters has marched to the demonstration zone outside the Democratic National Convention, complaining they are being treated like political prisoners.
A contingent from the protest group Recreate 68 Alliance went to the fenced-off zone on Monday, even though they had vowed earlier they would never return.Protesters derisively call the 47,000-square foot zone the “Freedom Cage.” It’s separated from the parking lot around the convention hall by metal fences atop concrete barriers.
It’s about 700 feet from the Pepsi Center, where the delegates will gather starting Monday night.
