Police save lives? You don't live in LA where cops have shot and killed homeless people just living out of a shopping cart. Or a black guy just hanging out against a building. DEAD. UNARMED. Yeah, cops save lives. WHITE LIVES.

More than three gathering togethr to disagree with the ruling party's policies constitutes anarchy, which leads to rioting and ultimately balloons into full blown terrorism. As a enemy combatant Nicole is 2 steps away from a one way excursion to Guantanamo. How 'bout you? Shouldn't you be worried about free speech in America?

i Just heard that they have reached an agreement with the saint Paul police department, democracy now filled a lawsuit 2 years ago and they won, congrats Amy Goodman and Nicole Salazar for fighting for our rights.

this was such a fascist event.. the storm troopers were in full force.. this is why the police and army will crush any protest ..they have lost their allegiance to the law .. they now take orders blindly like a good nazi

Next time express an opinion that isn't mired in ignorance, stupidity, cruelty, and fascism, and maybe you'll get nicer responses. This isn't a joke friend. What happened at the RNC is serious business. Journalists were attacked, protesters were attacked, democracy was attacked. And you, lemming that you are, sit back and cheer it on without really knowing anything about what you're talking about. Enough ignorance out of you. And I already finished school, thank you very much.

It would be nice if you were able to react to my opinion without being vulgar. You seem to be very uncouth and low class. But I have to say that I'm glad to have gotten a reaction out of someone... lol.

Now go back to finishing school, you emotional dork.

The charges were dropped back in September, Sleeping Beauty. Because they were bullshit. As are you, you fascist ignorant pig. She was a journalist doing her job, and you think she deserves prison time for that? Go fuck yourself and get the hell out of America, Nazi moron!

[lostinaparadox]

there is no real difference between the 2 American parties they bicker over miner issues when there are crises at hand, tools of the oligarchy nothing more

[Ninja90046]

What a whiner. She's lucky she didn't get knocked around and ruffed up while in jail.

I hope she will be convicted and spend the next several years of her life in prison.

[DowntownHound]

If these issues are important to you sir, then might I suggest that you organize a protest against them? I will gladly participate in them if I am able to as well as protest the Republican Party and all of the greed and warmongering it stands for. I am truly sorry that we are not able to protest every issue out there all of the time to suit your needs. Perhaps you should try joining the cause instead of just critiquing it from the comfort of your home.

[DowntownHound]

Gee, you know, I would have thought that the press credentials hanging from her neck, the big camera in her hands, and her screaming, "PRESS! PRESS!" while she was knocked down and violently dragged off screaming might have been a clue that she was not a rioter, but I guess being a police officer and "saving lives" also makes you lose common sense.

America 2008 = No freedom = First Century. Wake up America. Wake the hell up. You're beeing hijacked.
