Is fucken nuts. I was down at the first protest yesterday. Talk about a hive of fucken cops. They barricaded the protestors in and wouldnt let them out. I have never seen so many riot patrols in my life. Also I suppose as the week goes on the protests are going to become more violent. Last night some guy just got whacked in the face by a baton for no reason.
All I have to say is Denver is a war zone right now..

What is the reason the protesters are protesting?
"Fuck Fox News" is not the only reason, is it?

The idiots are trying to upstage the Chicago convention. For what reason, I have no idea.
More than likely just people that were paid for by the GOP to cause a ruckus.

Okay so I am going to the weed march on thursday, Last night I guess it was anti-capitalism, people were chanting anarchy. There were people wearing R68 buttons and they stand for recreate 68'. There were cops surrounding people and then more people surrounding the cops, then more cops surrounded those people.
Ill bring the video camera next time haha
Edit: R68 is like a organization and their leaders were there yesterday with goggles and bandannas over their face and handed them out to the rest of the people who were barricaded.

Wait, anarchy is anti-capitalism? wtf
And why would you want to recreate '68? What was so great about that year/convention that you want to recreate? What exactly do you want to happen?

It kind of turned into a "LET THOSE PEOPLE GO! FUCK YOU PIG! LET THEM GO!" kind of thing haha. Right now everywhere in the main part of Denver there are at least 15 S.W.A.T and or riot patrol officers. I was just marching. Just protesting to protest. In 68 there was a assassination. I guess they want to recreate that or something. They will have it on a documentry because the R68 people where talking to these camera men wearing DOCUMENTRY STAFF t-shirts. I swear though, I swear I saw that fat fuck who filmed Farenheit 911.

Actually a good place to be. Where I was for a while. I wasn't a member of any third parties either though. Independent. Not "American Independent" as it so sayeth on the CA voter reg cards. (Which is retarded. People confuse "American Independent" with "Decline to State" independent so often. )

Okay so get this. Yesterday the cops were talking to this girl. Later this girl comes up and starts talking shit to the angry mob of protestors. "YOU GUYS ARE MORONS, THESE COPS ARE HERE TO PROTECT YOU AND SERVE YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT THEM!?" We all think they were trying to get the group to riot.
There is one benefit of the DNC though. The police have been told not to make any arrests or even bother with people who are smoking weed

damn it! I work downtown during the day and I bring my digital camera (w video capability) out with me at lunch and at around 4 pm and I havent seen shit re: protesting or police brutality!
Just a bunch of idiots nearly getting themselves run over by mall shuttles on 16th st.
I guess I should stick around after 5 pm to catch that "dont taze me bro" moment I have been lusting to witness w/ mine own eyes.

Ha, you admit you dont really know what you were protesting, thats great man. Better than lying and bullshitting. I tried looking up what it was about, and found an interview with one of the organizers. I read it, and simply could not find what they are protesting. He threw out things like the war, and immigrant rights then combined with what you say, anti-capitalism and anti-drug war... guess there really was no focus at all.
Seems like were only there to provoke cops. Well, maybe you get some thing out of it; by posting YouTube police brutality videos.

These protests are so wildly out of touch with reality that it hurts my brain to think about them. If there was ever a case of protesters antagonizing the police for no other reason than to antagonize the police then please inform me. WooHoo! "Anarchy!! I don't know what it means, but I like it!"
OP, you don't even know what you're protesting...

Capitalism has given you everything you have. RFK's murder was almost totally unrelated to the DNConvention in 1968. The reason there were protests in Chicago was because at the time it was the Democratic party prosecuting the Vietnam war. RFK's assassination surly lit a candle under the protesters due to his anti-war stance, but they didn't like have the protests n stuff cuz teh guy got killed.
When the violence does escalate will you blame the police, or the protesters who conveniently already have goggles and bandannas for the people caught in the fray?

No I do know what it was though. It was supposed to be kind of a peaceful aggressive march. They where just walking around like 15th and court and everyone just split and went in opposite directions when the cops showed up all the sudden in mass fucken numbers. I didnt have my camera! ARGH! However I got the cutie to take a picture of me with the line of cops. Ill get it on here soon
Oh and of course I wouldnt try and lie about me knowing what they are protesting about. I asked around a bit and got all I needed to know and got to yell at some cops without getting arrested. I cant wait for the riot.
