Denver had a lottery for different groups to occupy different parks. The permits are 1-day permits and many parks are not close to the Pepsi Center where the delegates will be. The groups are not all radicals. One group is a pro-life group and one group is the DNC welcoming committee. The radical group Recreate-68 wanted the park right next to the Pepsi Center, especially for the 1st day of the convention. In the Denver lottery the R-68 did not win the drawing for the park next to the Pepsi Center, thus the law suit. I hope they win. It would be great to see the Democrats meeting their left-wing base on national TV.
WELL!!! The Democrats are supporting BIG SODA!!
Thanks for posting some good, accurate information.
That said, having a family member with DPD, I’d rather not see any riots, personally. I think we’re forgetting that some people will be hurt and some may even be killed in these riots. The anarchists did a similar one in Italy a while back and managed to hit a policeman with a Molotov cocktail.
When they had a bunch of leftist/anarchist protests in Denver (I can’t even remember what it was about!) a year or two ago, the police collected weapons and parts of weapons of all kinds that had been hidden around the protest area by sympathizers already in Denver. Some were things that had been broken down into parts to be assembled by the “protester,” who would clearly have been informed in advance where the parts were located.
These people are not your old-style “shout and scream and maybe throw some rocks” protestor.
