Protester in Denver today assaulted by Teabagger

[Skip_In_Boulder]

On the Mario Solis-Marich Show @ AM760.net there was just an interview of a protester at the solidarity rally in Denver being assaulted by a teabagger. Don't have a link to a story yet but it may show up at AM760.net later today.

As support for the unions increase I expect to see more violence by teabaggers as they start seeing they are losing the public debate in America.

1. What was the nature of the assault? Verbal? Physical?

More info needed.

3. Teabbagers didn't like his sign so they through him up against a fence

and tried to take his sign from him. I am trying to get a link to the interview but don't have one yet. Will post if and when I get one.

4. If that's the case,

wouldn't it be battery?

[Skip_In_Boulder]

11. Technically yes, but this isn't a law class.

10. Um, what fence?

The only thing I could think of is a railing that runs down the steps. But that's not very high.

12. The guy being interviewed said something about a steal fence

I wasn't there so I can't give you a first hand account. Hopefully I can get a link to the interview.

So NOTHING like self fulfilling prophecies, in their minds.

People need to get some peaceful resistance training as well.

5. Fuck that

Let's call in the Teamsters and the UMWA. Those guys know how to kick scab ass.

SEIU? What are they gonna do, short-sheet them?

15. Fuckin' A!!

As I said elsewhere ... I'm tired of the high road when it comes to these head-stomping, bully teabaggers.

7. WOW... these people are sick! They attack groups just like the Nazis did

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Trust me, I have been doing intel work

and I need a bath.

But they are seriously deep into the propaganda. I have ahem resisted posting this crap, But it is time people on the DU see what the enemy is doing and get it over thick skulls, They want you to work for really cheap, or dead, PERIOD.

[fascisthunter]

18. yup...

I haven't studied intel, but pretty much understand that the end game is to turn America's working class to that of the Chinese working class. They want cheap labor, and they mean to maintain their wealth without there being any checks and balances(we the people working through our government to regulate).

6. Teabaggers as pro-government thugs. Interesting how things change, huh?

8. Put a couple teabaggers

In the hospital in traction and I bet they think twice before they try that shit again :grr:

9. The whole protest was FUBAR.

First when they went to speak, the sound wasn't loud enough so that everyone could hear. All the people around me kept saying, "Turn up the volume."

Then the moronic security plan put two opposing groups together with no formal police coverage.

Then the police had to step in, and it was peaceful for a while.

Then I heard one of the officers say that they they'd lost their permits.

Then a bunch of police started gathering on the street across the way, I knew it was time to get out of there.

So I went to the top of the bus station, which has a park on it, a little ways away. It sounded like they were still going at it, but eventually the cops managed to get the crowds apart, from what I could see.

13. I heard the sound system had problems. n/t

[backscatter712]

16. I can attest to the problems.

I couldn't hear the speeches at all.

And what was the deal with the Denver pigs kicking the unions off the Capitol grounds? I wasn't aware you had to have a permit to exercise free speech.

And as usual, the coverage in the Denver Post was horribly biased.

But we did have fun heckling the teabaggers.

14. Sounds like the opposition is scared shitless that the state employees will expect bargaining

I know our former governor signed the executive order allowing for it. But I expect it to sit on a shelf gathering dust. So this hyperbolic reaction to a sign sounds like they won't be putting up with any state workers getting uppity and expecting fairness.

Feels like they're trying to nip anything positive in the bud as they work to destroy PERA.
