Denver lottery for park permits restarted (DNC Protest Violence Risk Grows)

UPDATE 3:20 p.m.: The protest group Re-Create 68 has announced it will force police to intervene at Civic Center park on the Sunday before the start of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, because the city just awarded a permit for the park on that day to be used by the city's convention host committee.

The blind lottery awarded the permit for Civic Center on Aug. 24 to Jenny Anderson, who is helping the host committee stage more than 40 parties for delegations. R-68 plans to start an anti-war march of, it says, 50,000 people at Civic Center and march to the Pepsi Center where the convention is to be held.

R-68's Glenn Spagnuolo says the group will not change its plans or respect Anderson's permit.

"It's not going to stop the protest from happening," Spagnuolo said, saying the city is "creating a very dangerous situation."

Yeah, it would really be an awful thing if some conservative people got in on the lottery and, say, donated the tickets to some radical anarchist organization.

But that would be wrong...

Yes, the mayor will regret it, but will probably blame it on Bush!

Here is the re-create 68 website. Apparently the founder is a big pal of Ward Churchill.

No kidding, Hickenlooper (sp?) and Ritter will be pulling a Rev. Wright and condemning Bush for whatever goes wrong, and I'm guessing a lot will go wrong.

“And I have just been guessing there will be trouble...”

I’m sure the Denver PD will be more than happy to help them re-create 68’.

It’s spelled “Chickenlooper” around here.

I have friends on the Denver PD who chose to retire rather than put up with the garbage they knew was coming down the pike with this convention.

I think the convention will start, but will not be completed due to violence. The party of crimminals will eat their own.

“I have friends on the Denver PD who chose to retire rather than put up with the garbage they knew was coming down the pike with this convention.”

It’s going to be a mess. Every radical and black flag anarchist in the country will be coming to Denver to join the fun.
