The Park Service does not discriminate in granting meeting permits. ANSWER has held many before now. It looks like, in this instance, ANSWER acted without getting a permit so some of its people would be arrested, and that would get them some free ink.

They were probably blocking traffic. You can be certain that the City did not break them up because they weren’t using the right kind of glue.
The oldest hippie trick in the hippie trick book.
And here we are talking it up.
Great “Story” of ANSWER’S “ Freedom Of Expression “ and POLITICAL SPEECH being beaten out of them by BUSH hired & paid for Goons of the DC Police. (Probly Ex-Halliburton employees who live in DC)
RIGHT IN TIME to make the “ NPR’s “ : and other PUBLIC RADIO’s WeekEnd editions and Talk-Shows!!(ALL DAY LONG probly!)
Actually-
An “ Un-Named, Anonymous Caller “ had called into the Park Police an hour earlier stating that they OVER HEARD PLANS from a group of people that they had planned to cause a
disturbance at said location. (Gee?...I wonder who called ?...)
Thus ANSWER were able to ensure the POLICE would show up and thus they’d have something for their OWN Press to take pictures of.
The AREA where they were gathered is a “ NO-Public-Display “ area under any circumstances!-PERIOD! So= they couldn’t even GET a “Permit” for there if they wanted-(An easy item for anyone to find out about)
BUT.........That is WHY they said they “SUPPOSEDLY” were just “ Demostrating facts about their Poster Glue “ ( A Ficteous cover story of course-ready to be given when caught by police)
THAT is why their “Lawyer” was there; Because you ARE ALLOWED to hold a “ Public Press Conference “ Anywhere for the (Sole) Purpose of handing out “FACTS”-or a Press Report- but NOT for “Protesting” or staying in a reserved , pre-arranged, permited area where Traffic (Pedestrian or vehicle) would be stopped or disrupted.
ALL Their lawyer has to do is state AFTER The arrests is that , “..well! We were PREVENTED from informing the Police our intentions because of THEIR Gestopo-type tatcics when they arrived at our Peaceful PRESS RELEASE.
Answer and their grand total of 5 (Who NOW will show up from their side if all their 5 supporters are in jail??!)and other supporters were arrested Because
they were Setting up a Fixture/structure (Podium)knowingly where , no matter What Reasons, they are not allowed to do so on.
The Police told them this- and according to the rehersed act ANSWER had practiced-they Faked their “Reactions” of being affronted by the Police in their Innocent gathering, they answered back that they were NOT going to move and the police just did what comes naturally next; remove the public distraction from out of Public Harm.
One Million Dollars now will bet you that by next week:
This whole “ Outrage! “ will have grown in complexity and severity when repeated by ANSWER on their Site- or ON
“ NPR “ Radio!
And the DC Police use Horse Patrols for economic and access reasons , in their patrol forces. Libbies love it when it makes the news that they were “ Accosted “ by Horse-Mounted Police becuase it sounds like the Police purposely Called out the “ HORSE PATROL “ merely to Harass the Peaceful Demostrators!! It Makes for Great, Sympathy News Pics for the libbies.
Ask ANSWER Why their PROTESTERS have been arrested- and on their “Peaceful Protesters ) , were found hidden in their pack packs ; BAGS of Red-Pepper and Chemical Sprays MEANT To ruin a Horses and Patrol Search Dogs Noses and sense of smell!? So Spray Paint, Drugs, Possibble explosions and fireworks-SMOKE BOMBS can NOT be seized by Police!
Wait til the MEDIA shows pics of the protesters this year again all wearing MASKS to HIDE THEIR FACES!!
