It’s a sad state of affairs when politicians and police treat protesters as criminals and terrorists and spend millions of dollars on weapons to attack and control the public. Fascism is alive and well in America, justified in the name of “security”.

And we all know what Benjamin Franklin said about people who trade freedom for security. The United States Constitution is clearly written and it states that Congress shall make NO LAW abridging the freedom of speech or the press or of the people to peaceably assemble.

The footage outside the convention is quite disturbing. The actions of the Denver police against peaceful demonstrators is even more disturbing.

What is MOST disturbing is the lack of coverage of these fascist police actions by our government controlled media.

As far as I’m concerned, all this is just more reason to get out in the streets – at the conventions AND in our local communities.
