Police Attack Kids in Utah

This happened just before Bush came to town. Watch the video... and bumb this thread. This is a news story that should be forced into the MSM.

2. they sure looked like commandos to me
I wouldn't be surprised if the SWAT thing was a cover story. ISTR SWAT uniforms being black, not green camouflage fatigues.

3. You need to know that Utah & Idaho are almost pure RED
and they will do just about anything to back Bush. Dissent is not treated kindly.

11. This shouldn't be a surprise

from states that vote for Bush by a margin of some 70% (actually 68% in Idaho and 71% in Utah).

5. That was bizarre ......
and the accounts from the kids really summed it up. Ya know, the guys in the fatigues looked like National Guard, and the blatant disregard for those kids rights makes me wonder if any of those 'Guard' saw action in Iraq recently? From there I can jump to the conclusion that Iraq could turn out being the training ground for the Bush Fascist Police State here at home. Another by-product of the Bush Regime? Sigh .. what a world you are creating Mr. Bush ... Okay maybe my conjecture went a bit too far? :shrug:

14. That top pic
looks like a vignette from the corner of some renaissance painting where the characters are all in hell being tormented by bands of the unholy. Scary!

16. There is new information at the link. There is a statement by the
promoter not only discussing what happened, but the need for witnesses and photos of abuses.

I was listening to Coast To Coast AM last night, and a young woman who had been at the Rave called in, very traumatized. She mentioned all of the violence and fear after having an absolutely wonderful time.
