Your 1st amendment has been revoked.

Sucks to be us don't it?

The right to grievance the government and Peaceful assembly sailed ship just like the rest of the constitution.

If I recall chemistry - the title fight between a chain link fence and Phosphoric Acid. PA won by TKO.

Note the razor wire on top of the cages. I guess they want to be sure no one can escape over the top to what the next cage? Maybe the razor wire is to protect people in one cage from people climbing over a neighboring cage?

The only reason I can think of is that it is to prevent people being tear gassed or beaten from trying to escape their captors cruel intentions.

It is inaccurate to say that this detainment center is for protesters.

Protests are expected and they are legal, but when those who protest cross the line and break the law, law enforcement will arrest the law breakers and there must be some place to stage these individuals while they are awaiting arraignment.

As sad as it is, there are groups who, though they are cooling the rhetoric now, have promised to make Chicago 1968 seem like a church picnic.

This is really sad, since the conventions are representative of the legal process of political change in America.

So, while everyone's First Amendment rights are still intact, it would seem that those who choose to break the law will have to spend a period of time living under less than desirable conditions.

What would one expect? Accommodations at the Holiday Inn?

This would be so unnecessary if the Republicans could refrain from the violent and repulsive activities they have planned like throwing bags of crap on people. Rush and all the Republican pundits like to blame the Democrats for the demonstrations that take place at Democratic conventions, but why would the Democrats disrupt their own convention?

I hope that lots of young Republicans feel the sting of a nightstick or taser if they step out of line and sling crap on people.
