Shame on the Minnepolis/St.Paul police, if that’s whose faces were protected when arrests were made. Shame on them for scaring these students and families enjoying a Labor Day concert.

Nothing like this happened in Denver!
Vote for Obama!!!!!!

For people wondering about legal defense funds, here’s two options I-Witness just recommended to us:

Coldsnap Legal Collective – they handled jail support and now court
support for arrestees and defendants.

RNC 8 – to support the legal defense of people who are being charged with
terrorism under Minnesota’s version of the Patriot Act. The cost of their
legal defense is estimated at $250,000.

Now let’s pause to take in the idea that PEOPLE ARE BEING CHARGED WITH TERRORISM under Minnesota’s version of the Patriot Act.

I am compelled to use the F word. It looks like a thoroughly fascist arrest, heavy handed and without cause. GOP tax dollars at work makes all of us accomplices in some way. That is the crying shame.</p> This is an outrage. I am compelled to use the F word. It looks like a thoroughly fascist arrest, heavy handed and without cause.

Our Gov’t has the right to spy on its citizens for any reason it desires with no warrant no paper trail no oversight. You know, oversight, what is missing from wall street, Bush Adm even the congress.

But somehow the Palin’s can just refuse to abide by a subpoena. Can refuse as elected officials, to hold open their work on the peoples dollar.
We pay them and we have a right to know.

As some republicans said of spying, ” If you have nothing to hide its no big deal “.

So if it is no big deal? Why doesn’t Palin cooperate if she has nothing to hide??

She must be hiding something because she refuses to cooperate.
So lets take Bush’s aproach. How does Gov Palin feel about torture?

And when they rise up, Americans can expect more ugliness than has already happened. Riot Cops and National Guard, quite capable of doing much more than arrest people, until all dissent is stifled. Quite simply state terrorism turned inward.</p> There can’t help but be major protests in the near future, no matter who gets elected.
