James92802:

Get your fking ears and eyes checked. Your ignorance is oozing.

[justapeon2003]

The existence of this agreement has already been admitted by representatives from the city of St. Paul. The existence of this agreement signals an a priori knowledge and awareness on the part of St. Paul authorities that the intervention strategies and control tactics employed to stifle and suppress demonstrators and unsanctioned news coverage would in all likelihood be construed as illegal by a court of law.

[tomitstube]

didn't amy goodman and democracy now win their law suit against their arrests?

not only are they targeting journalists, since the start of bush's presidency, they now won't let protests any where near the sites. wouldn't it be nice if they'd protect abortion clinics like this?

see you tampa.

[James92802]

I gave a time line... can you show me how it is wrong?

[grapesota]

James run along, I think your mom is calling you home for dinner.

The RNC agreed, in writing, to cover (or purchase) 10,000,000 dollars worth of damage and violence to the civil liberties and constitutional rights of the other convention attendees. Wow! now that is a hell of a shopping spree. How is this explained by the parties to the agreement?

[justapeon2003]

Does this amount to collusion or conspiracy to violate rights of? At a minimum, it is clearly a confession on the part of the city of St. Paul of its willingness, if not intent, to cross the line and break the law (at the bidding of the RNC) if necessary. And the RNCs willingness to pay for it if necessary (up to ten million dollars)!

[justapeon2003]

WHY did the city of St. Paul REQUIRE an agreement with RNC stipulating that the RNC would reimburse the city of St. Paul for any liabilities and damages stemming from lawsuits concerning the treatment of protesters? (or rather mis-treatment of protesters and media, trammeling of civil liberties and constitutional rights)?

[4aaaaa4]

You suffer from receptive incoherence?

My point was that if they took your mother, you would GLADLY let them have her without one question.

You should lay off the FAUX feeling of superiority NEWS CHannel nad get some deserved self esteem for a change.

[James92802]

Show where, or how, I'm ignorant or misleading the facts.

Is shouting insults the limit of your ability when arguing your case?

If thats the best you all can do, then she is going to jail.

Makes my day!

[James92802]

My mother taught me respect for the police.

She would have more then told me to stay off the sidewalk.

As for your mother, if she did what Amy Goodman did, hook her up. Not even mothers get to breat the law or resist a cop.
