DENVER- Recreate-68’s Monday 5PM event “Shake Your Money Maker” is about encircling the Denver Mint and levitating it to return the banking system’s hoarded riches to the people. If that doesn’t sound lucrative enough for you, other Take Back the Streets actions are promoted with fliers which promise to improve your material conditions. While some might think that’s an all out call for looting, organizers insist participation is “character enriching.” But the DNC will indeed provide a high road to riches if you read the news from NY.
Come to demonstrate. March. Put your body smack dab into your right to assemble. Do what you know you have a legal right to do. Let them arrest you for that.
The Denver Police Department is circulating a brochure with tips for DNC protesters. Right at the top they explain, that regardless whether you think you’re in the right, if a police officer orders you to disperse, you must. Oh MUST you?
A law abiding citizen must obey a lawful order given you by an officer of the law. Do you sense what’s missing in their instruction?
The DPD has also issued instructions to its first responders to be on the lookout for protesters with maps and bikes which could be used to aid and abet demonstrators with violent intentions.
Get yourself caught up in their dragnet. Be detained. Then step right up into the line for the class action suit that will follow.
Less you feel like you’re gamaing the system, don’t worry, the lawsuit award has been budgeted. That’s been the pattern. Clear the streets, pay the legal claims against you. Until the penalty is really punitive, cities which face mass protests will continue to violate its citizen’s civil liberties.
Take the money. It may be the only instance where Homeland Security spending will go to the disadvantaged or you.
