The cops finally settled on a charge of “occupying a public space without a permit” due to the protesters’ two card tables. Despite the protesters’ request, cops refused to issue a $50 ticket.

OK, Kris, help me with this one: You all wanted a citation, but they wouldn't issue one. What actually would have resulted in a ticket?

[kristinn]

We could have challenged the ticket in court. The officers would have had to testify. The D.C. police has gotten alot of grief over how they treat protesters so the officers didn't want to go on the record with the ticket.

Also, because the Kerry campaign was involved, they had to do something to placate them so they gave us a lax order to shut down.

The Kerry campaign denies that. “It wasn’t us,” said a campaign worker familiar with the situation. “Police came, but not on our urging.”

Don't worry.

Next week they will admit to calling the police.

What an excellent idea. Every area in the country should have a bake sale to cook Kerry's 'half baked ideas'.

[kristinn]

Good to hear from you again. It's been a busy month, with more to follow.

[holyscroller]

Typical Dumbocrats. Absolutely no sense of humor. In fact, just plain no sense of anything!

Way to go, DC Freepers!

[freekitty]

Right. The Kerry campaign did not call the police. What a crock.
