A college-age protest group that wants to camp overnight in City Park during the Democratic National Convention next month is going to have to find another place to sleep.
Mayor John Hickenlooper told radio host Mike Rosen, who writes a column for the Rocky, that Tent State University's plans for a sleepover for as many as 50,000 protesters are out of the question.
The mayor also told Rosen that the city might turn on the sprinklers if the protesters don't abide by Denver's 11 p.m. curfew.
Councilwoman Carla Madison, whose district includes City Park, said overnight camping is not an option.

Adam Jung, an organizer and spokesman for Tent State, could not be reached for comment.

Madison said other protest groups could make similar requests if Tent State were given permission.
"My concern is all the Re-create '68 folks who've been wanting to sleep in Civic Center Park," she said, referring to the group that promised to make the bloody 1968 Democratic convention "look like a small get-together."
"If we say yes in City Park, I'm not sure how we could say no in Civic Center Park," she said.
Madison also is worried about the precedent it could set.
"Right now, we don't even let the Boy Scouts sleep in the parks. It isn't political. It doesn't have anything to do with any message or anybody. It's just that we don't do that," she said.
"Once you let one group do it, even though (the DNC) is an extraordinary circumstance and all that, I think that it opens up the door to a lot of people just thinking that they should be able to do it, and then if we say no, they can sue us for it," Madison added.

YES, once you let maggot infested pinkos in who have sworn to disrupt the peaceful assembly of political parties, you may EVENTUALLY have to let those God clinging Boy Scouts camp in the park TOO!
If you turn on the sprinkler system their blotter acid will be ruined.
CS gas: hippie strength. And lay it on thick.
Are they Black Helicopters...
Ah but the hippies were told that an act like the Beatles or Rolling Stones were going to appear. In the end, it was the MC5 from Detroit and there was no available power so they had to use the generator from a hamburger wagon to power their equipment.
“WHERE’S MICK!!???? WE WANT RINGO! WE WANT RINGO!!!”
ROFLMAO!!!!!.................They still make that stuff?..............
Does it give the same frequency as the note the boys in South Park played? The note made everyone deficate in their pants. Really funny episode.
I wouldn't let them camp overnight either. No one has a tent big enough to fumigate the park after they've left.
Why should the city not trust liberals to behave anyway. These folks are perfect, just ask them.
Right!!!.........bunch of hot air
I'd be shocked if 500 show up
These latte' liberals don't have a freaking clue, they are a bunch of mama boys and girlie man pretending to be something they are not.
Last week I saw a photo & video here of these spoiled young primates 1.) dragging our flag on the ground and 2.) spitting on a vet.
I’ve had my ration of their shite. If they get `frisky’ I say give `em a good whiff of gas, and they’ll go home tails between their legs.

Oh my.
Thanks!
That link doesn't match your version of events.
They’re just part of the militant “peace” network, there’ll still be a scene no matter where they sleep.. and a media to take their side when their act goes down.
