Protesters Protest Pen Plan for Protests
Under open threat of violence and mayhem from a range of groups for whom the Democratic Party is not sufficiently “progressive”, the city of Denver has prepared a holding facility for protesters that bears an eerie resemblance to the temporary facilities constructed at Guantanamo Bay after 9/11. Not content with the over-the-top moniker “Gitmo on the Platte”, however, protesters are driven to new heights of hyperbole in their outrage:
“That’s how you treat cattle,” said Adam Jung of the group Tent State University. “You showed the sign where it said stun gun in use and you just change the word gun for bolt and it’s a meat processing plant.”
No word yet from Denver officials on when the slaughtering machines will arrive or whether the gutting and butchering crews will be cleared by immigration officials before they set to work on protesters’ carcasses.
The facilities are stark, to be sure, but such choices are all but forced on convention cities as they are increasingly faced by protest groups for whom violence is an expression of true commitment and arrest is a rite of passage into protester Valhalla. Such groups as “Recreate ‘68″ seek openly to cause destruction and injury in hopes of recapturing glory days of Chicago riots in 1968. And that is just what they have prepared for Democrats. Officials preparing for the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, might have to commandeer the cages at the Minnesota Zoo…
I’m all for free speech and the right to peaceably protest, but we all know these types aren’t interested in that. If they don’t want to be treated like animals, then they shouldn’t act like animals.
