Direct democracy
Left-wing lunacy is in fact the definition of ‘direct democracy’.
Near the start of the march, two women and a young man secured themselves with chains to a car that obstructed traffic.
“I would like a world of direct democracy,” said one man, who gave his name only as Alex, as he was led away by officers.
A larger group of about 200 protesters dressed in black roamed through the streets of downtown St. Paul, shouting and chanting and throwing street signs and concrete planters into the roads. Many of them wore black bandanas across their faces and some wore black balaclavas.
At one point, a police officer grabbed one of the youths. Others wrested him away, then appeared to knock the officer to the ground. On one knee, the officer released an arc of pepper spray that gushed into the air in a thick cloud.
The crowd backed off. A young man scattered bundles of nails secured with duct tape in the street. Over the next 40 minutes or so, the crowd weaved through streets, sometimes pursued or approached by police, but often eluding groups of police officers or sheriffs deputies.
Some members of the group smashed windows while others objected.
“Is this really protesting?” a young woman shouted, apparently in anger. ~http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com
Direct democracy = disruption and destruction. This is what Obama wants to bring us. Social upheaval is in fact ‘change’. Revolutions are in fact ‘change’. This does not mean the changes would be good are beneficial. All evidence points to the contrary. The left’s idea of change will not benefit society at all and is certainly meant to begin dismantling American capitalism.
Delegates and passersby hurried out of the way as they saw the group approaching. Projectiles bounced off the windows of the U.S. Bank Center, but a young man used a hammer with a yellow handle to smash a window of the First National Bank.
Others in the crowd pried up red paving stones and used them as weapons, and some protesters smashed windows at Macy’s and a police car window.
The crowd soon dispersed, but apparently with the intent of coming back later in the day. It was not immediately clear whether there were injuries or arrests. ~http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com
