Be sure to have lots of video cameras and digital cameras when you protest in the future.
I was going to post that earlier, and I got side tracked on some other comment. A couple of years ago when I stood with other Freepers at Blackstone/Shaw in Fresno during the aftermath of the 2000 election, I made the comment that people need to have cameras and video cameras with them.
This is true now more than ever! In the future, any demonstration attended by Free Republic people should have a LOT of video recorders around! The RAT thugs might destroy some but they won't get them all.
And be extremely careful about what you tell reporters from the liberal papers. They will do their best to twist your words!
"Be sure to have lots of video cameras and digital cameras when you protest in the future."
I've read almost every comment and this is by far the most important observation.
Always have cameras around. Have more than one so that one doesn't get involved in OJ-type lawyering about the angle/obstruction.
Conceal the cameras as possible to ensure visual capture of their acts that they'll believe are notbeing saved for posterity.
Fox is an ally to an extent but who would you rather have in control of the footage: Fox or a Freeper.
This is nothing against Fox - love those folks - but one must retain as much control as possible and then negotiate how the video is cut up before allowing a news organisation to possibly soften the impact (talking primarily about the ABC/CNN/CBS/NBC news organisations, like they'd really show it).
