but aren't those the ones roaming the streets? Whose penned up? The anti-homosexual anti-abortion protestors, right? The conservative ones.
I know they can be just as radical, (Robert Rudolph Randy whathisname, among others), but I bet fewer of them thean the others.
Besides, where's it stop? Who decides? Then don't let anyone protest, or let 'em all out!
I do understand after what happened in Seattle, but...
It's actually more bizarre than that. While the conservative press nation-wide reported, in re: that FBI warning, about how some Marxist anarchist groups OPENLY talked about waging "war" on the convention -- IN FACT, THEY GOT THE STREETS!!!! The left-wing control of the local law enforcement community led to an ABCnews.com story on July 23, 2004 story that they really didn't care about anarchists ("have little, if any concern about such an attack"), but were more concerned with isolating "neo-Nazis" (the same people that Lefties talking about the "right-wing" portray as ranging from Ronald Reagan to skinheads). Check it out. There are certifiable Left-wing "loons" (as they say in Europe) peppered throughout the bureaucracies in Boston. This is a town where more people read and listen to, on the local TV, Noam Chomsky than know who James Otis (famous South Shore patriot), or even George Orwell was.
My apologies. I have been hit and miss on that particular arena and my ignorance showed. Thanks for setting me straight on just who was in the pen. grrrrrrrrr
