Democrats or Brownshirts?
Major tip of the hat to Steven D at BMT.
Democrats or Brownshirts? You decide:
In Denver, police are preparing what a local political organizer calls a ‘concentration camp,’ laying in wait for mass arrests anticipated during the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
On Wednesday, a Denver CBS affiliate sent a news crew to crash the police department’s improvised detention facility, found in a warehouse owned by the city on the north-east side of town.
“This is a building filled with metal holding cells,” described reporter Rick Sallinger, introducing the segment. “We showed up at the facility unannounced today, the doors were wide open, and we managed to shoot for several minutes until a Denver sheriff’s captain asked us to leave.”
Footage of the warehouse revels tall, chain-link fence capped by barbed wire, and segmented pens each bearing an identifying letter at about shoulder height.
The news crew was not invited, nor welcome. Cpt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff’s Department called the facility “a secured area,” and worried that information related to the site would be used “by people who are potentially trying to be disruptive.”
“Each of these fenced in areas is about five yards by five yards,” said Sallinger. “There’s a lock on the door. How long those arrested will be kept here is not known. A sign on the wall reads, ‘Warning! Electric stun devices used in this facility.’”
I called the DNC to get the scoop: they claimed ignorance and sent me over to the Democratic National Convention Committee. They didn’t answer the phone, so I left a detailed message. I am about as confident that they’ll call me back as I am that monkeys will fly out of my butt.
As you can see on their site, they’re mighty proud to announce that there will be a “Unity Breakfast To Mark 45th Anniversary Of ‘I Have A Dream’ Speech”. You can reach them at 720-362-2008:ask them if the cages are part of a modern-day attempt to re-enact Bull Connor’s firehoses and german shepherd attacks. After all, ol’ Bull was a Democrat too.
