Free speech for me but not for thee

That seems to be attitude of some, or rather many, of the protestors in NY to those attending the Republican convention. The protestors demand the right to assemble, march and speak. Rights that are guaranteed by the US Constitution. However, they do not seem to want to allow others who hold views different from themselves to be able to utilize the same rights. At least without massive police protection.

Some of the delegates personal information has been posted on the web and the post urges "protesters should use the information "in whatever way they see fit.""

NY Daily News reporter spent time with some of the protestors before the convention started and all said that today 31 August will be a "big day" of direct action. Expect more confrontations with the police.

And finally, where are the Democrats? Where is the ACLU? Why are they not denouncing the protestors who are trying to prevent the Republicans from peaceably assemble and use their constitutional rights of free expression? Hillary Clinton, who is in charge of the Democratic Truth squad and is representing New York in the Senate hasn't said anything yet about the policeman who was attacked by the protestors, not because of his politics (which is unknown at this time), not because he was attacking the protestors (he wasn't), but because he was there. His crime was breathing and living and doing his job watching folks on the street. Shouldn't Hillary be denouncing those who attack the first responders?

It will be an interesting week.
