I have two digital cameras so I could risk one, and I've got my old laptop that's on it's last legs but still servicible. I could throw pics up on my FTP server and give someone access to post them, but I think the hard part will be finding internet access during the melee.

It would be great to get pictures.

I'd just hate to see "our" guys being misidentified by LE or other decent people that may be attacked by the scum and need to defend themselves.

Would pics from "near" the action come out well enough to be used?

Mixing "in" with the terrorists might not be too healthy.Hate to see any good guys get hurt unless absolutely necessary.

That old saying about omelets and broken eggs... sometimes patriots need to volunteer themselves to become the broken eggs.

My son is with NYPD and if he ever got himself hurt by an idiot demonstrator I would go nuts,to say the least. Hopefully if enough Freepers get involved we can help to reduce that risk. BTW: Thank your son in advance for me. You can be sure that if I see any "Black Bloc'ers" going after an officer, I'll do what I can, but your son is probably better armed and trained that me :)

Another good strategy in threatening environments is basically posting lookouts. In contact by cell, have numbers for authorities handy, able to contact backup witnesses quickly. We had to do this during the 2000 election protests. Getting a sympathetic radio personality to do live broadcasts is great exposure and assures a certain police presence. We also had livecam internet. (But you'd need a technogeek for that!)

Chicago 1968 was the Dem convention.

I work in midtown and I'll be bringing a couple of fists if any of those maggots get in my face. I will take no prisoners. With the media being what it is, they'd just latch onto that like the rabid dogs they are. If you're attacked then by all means, but it would be best to keep your cool if possible and instead concentrate on doing what you can to ensure some of these guys see the inside of a jail cell. Love the enthusiasm though! :)

If you have a zoom lens it would help. Just catch a few of these scum throwing rocks at the police and if you can get a good shot of their facial features, the authorities can enhance it and nail these scumbags to the wall.

Just wear your grubbiest clothes and don't shave or shower for a few days before the events and you will blend right in. Oh, if the police tell you to move it, then move it as fast as you can.

I agree and have been "broken" more than a few times,myself.

A clear field of fire so there's no "collateral" damage would be nice.

If a mob attacked me,I'd defend myself.I'd also consider the entire mob as fair targets.

[Free Trapper]

Rocks are deadly weapons.

Getting good shots of their facial features is great.I've always been a head shooter. :)

Excellent angle. I agree. Campaign Bush should begin the mantra now calling for Kerry to call off the goons. If done well it becomes a no-win for Kerry and Bush can't lose. The worst possible outcome is the goons behave and they accuse Bush of being a Chicken Little. That's a lot better than riots at your convention.

On Brit Hume's Special Report tonight, there was a brief segment on Dem activists advocating rubbing themselves down with gun powder and situating themselves in the subway and places near Madison Square Garden, so they would throw off bomb sniffing dogs and create havoc and possibly disrupt the convention. Nothing on it on the FOX website.

I hope NY Freepers are ready for this....

You know, I've signed up to be a volunteer at the convention (already endured the first orientation session), but if they're going to bring the city to a halt and make it so that I can't get to the convention...well, I'm just going to take a big glass of iced tea, a good book, my CD Walkman and my cell phone down to one of the outside decks at my apartment building and wait them out.

Of course, I might feel compelled to kick their asses, due to the fact that their antics are costing me and my fellow New Yorkers untold tax $$$ that we can't afford.

I truly resent that their putative "freedom of speech" costs *MY* money!

God Bless your son. I'll bet that he's prepared to do some serious damage on these animals. Any Marines in the audience who'd like to 'mingle' with the protestors...? I'd bet a whole lot of Semper Fi Americans would enjoy... Well you know. Night all!

Rove will likely fear that calling for this will upset the "new tone". He'll look for Rush or Hannity to call for it.

we had better get on offense, real fast. time is running out.

I'm not hoping for violence...but it will happen, and it will hurt the Dems..and help W. I don't know how many of yoiu remember Chicago '68..the convention AND the riots..but it turned of a lot of folks...the classic scene was the CT sen Ribakoff..at the speaker's dias in prime time..accusing the Chicago PD of "gestapo" tactics..then Mayor Daley, in the audience..giving Ribikoff the finger..believe me..HOward Stern had NOTHING on these guys..

It's also going to hurt this city and leave us incredibly vulnerable to terrorist attacks. One thing that I read was that they *want* to pull pranks that will wear down the bomb-sniffing dogs, which will render them useless.

Pathetic that they no longer even try to hide the fact that they are rooting for the islamofascist terrorists to win and defeat us!

[NYC GOP Chick]

G-d bless your son!

[oceanview]

i've heard from a friend that alot of people are not being called back - depending on what you say you are willing to do, they mostly need people for transportation to/from airports to hotels, etc.

[GVnana]

I'd encourage you to hold your post. We're going to need you there.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Well, we shall see...I also anticipate having access to much of the convention via other means. ;)
