Now proving that protesters who shout "FACISTS!" have a point, part 2

I only spent two days in NYC, and missed out on the mass arrests. While I saw the cops massed on the streets, helicopters flying through the air (one of which shined a light down on the Tank while we gathered around the TV and screamed at Bush's speech; nothing like having that dipshit blow wind about freedom while there's cops watching you from above), I never got a feel of the real oppression. It's better to let a New Yorker speak about it, so from BlondeSense's blog...

NYC's finest suddenly turned into robocops. It was like a sci-fi movie according to my sources. "One minute you are standing on a sidewalk somewhere minding your own business and the next minute, you are literally swept up into a dragnet." Can you imagine? They weren't just netting protesters. They were netting dolphins with the tuna and they really didn't give a shit. In another Newsday article we find that anyone and everyone who just happened to be standing at the wrong place at the wrong time got arrested. Even a reporter from American Spectator, a conservative magazine. heh. Ah yes, the Patriot Act at its finest.
