Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID, Seriously! Take a look around your own community. What has appeared innocent in the past takes on a whole new perspective. Ever notice the fences around large football fields and schools? Now have you noticed that the barbed wire on the top of the fence is facing IN, so that it can keep people IN? In times of civil unrest, there ARE places to keep the people "detained". The Machine is getting out of control, and we are in danger of losing are freedom like never before.

This isn't the DNC doing this. This is Denver's deal, with Denver and it's finest "protecting" their own interests. Not to say that the Feds aren't in this up to their eyeballs. They're the ones orchestrating it!

You all do realize this post is getting SERIOUS "monitoring". Big Brother is making his list and checking it twice. Ever want to grow up to be an "enemy combatant" ?

2 security camera domes have been mounted on either end of the north-side of the building. I assume on the south-side too, where there is a public park. (Schafer Park)

Wow...the Clinton/PUMA/Fox supporters got a great deal on accommodat­ions--'swe­et diggs.' I'm jealous!!!

[meanguy]

wll, if it rains, they'll be more confortable than those imprisoned in the 'free speech gulag'

Denver: Step out of the Free Speech Zone cage and we'll lock you up in one of these cages.

No city is ever going to let Chicago 1968 happen again, and some 'democrats' have been threatening to go there again this year. It's their own fault, and it's embarassing to the rest of us.

Right out of the movie "Children of Men". I guess most of the Americans have forgotten about the American Japanese, and their "Gitmo".

Guantanamodenver. Everybody that gets taken there will get a free autographed picture of Stalin and an all-natural, fully-recyclable hand-bag made out of Gulag detainee thigh skin.

[doctorwang]

I agree it's a stark image, but do you have any other ideas of what else to do with those caught committing violent acts or endangering the safety of others?

[WFV]

Welcome to Denver, POOOOOOMAs! Your fabulous accomodations await.....


Let's see what you've got!

They must be expecting a lot of the people Rush asked to show up. You know the O'Rielly and Hannity readers like the Arkansas democratic campaign shooter and Adkisson from Tennessee.
