It was actually pretty boring. The Denver Post had a live camera on the outside of the Pepsi Center. It was a line of cops and a bunch of people walking around. Once in a while you could make out the words to the silly chant, but they mostly looked like they were walking around in circles.

You can also listen to the Denver emregency dispatches on this site: ScanAmerica. Use the city band, not the state. Dullness warning. :)

Jason's best yet. His videos are hysterical.

I love how he is obviously playing dumb and needling them but the moonbats are too stupid to pick up on it.

OPINION:

I’ve always said that liberals are willfully ignorant.

It doesn’t take much to infiltrate them and see what they are
attempting to think or not think about.

Documentation is good — let’s the liberals see themselves for
what they are.

Who ARE these protesters? They sound like people who just hate everybody and everything on principle.

I've seen these malcontents in action in Montreal. All I can say is that my visceral reaction was to want to slap the snot out of most of them and kick the shit out of the rest.

I’m just wondering what the police would do about a person that certifiably poses no threat.

In a situation like this there is nobody who is 'certifiably' not a threat.

Utopians — Commies, for example. Determined enemies of everything that is, except themselves.

Sig,

Were you listening 9:00EDT when the cops came upon a bunch trying to fill a 50 gallon drum with urine? I think I heard they were draining the porta-poties and asking for volunteers! Sure would like to know what they were gonna do with that!

Where the hell is DUCK TWACEY!!?

These are organized anarchists; like jumbo shrimp.

[Pyro7480]

LOL! That's probably one of my favorite cartoons of all time.

NEON NOODLE!!

[Vanders9]

Organised anarchists? An oxymoron if ever I heard one!

[sionnsar]

I wonder how much media attention the riots will generate?

Griff Jenkins has SACK!

You have to admire the guy for risking his life by wading into this angry crab pot of the unwashed, uneducated masses.

Now that’s some diversity we can all be proud of.

[wastedyears]

It’s a piggy bank crime wave!

“Prayers that no one was injured or killed. “

While I can sympathize with this statement, you have to understand that the people demonstrating do not share your concern. Indeed, they will be hugely disappointed if there are not large numbers of injuries and deaths. One can only hope that if there are injuries and deaths, that those injuries and deaths are suffered by the protesters and not by police or innocent bystanders.

How about this:

A ten year old boy, adjacent to the cops, sitting on a wall, shirtless, eating a sandwich and drinking soda.

[wtc911]

Yeah, you find those at riot scenes and anarchist-police confrontations all the time...

[GladesGuru]

Given that the Denver have quite an array of threats, I doubt they would worry about someone eating a sandwich while sitting on a wall.

Note to that apocriphal picnicer - tear gas does NOT go well with sandwich meats, bread, lettice, mayo, etc.
