1. oh wow, cuz that's not unconstitutional...

cuz, ya know, it's perfectly legal to arrest protestors who are taking no violent action and who are assembled peacefully ACCORDING TO THE FUCKING BILL OF RIGHTS.

2. Arab neck scarves? What's that supposed to signify?

For that matter what is an Arab neck scarf? Have they considered the possibility that they're way off in some sort of fantasy land AND paranoid?

3. So what else is new -- this was predicted

Many of us "old timers" predicted that the new-Nixon era worse than Nixon bushita creeps, would have spies planted among all the protest groups. In the old Nixon era -- very often the spies attempted to get the war protesters (Peace-niks) into some sort of violent action.

My guess is that their use of the scarves was a way to identify each other -- gotta know who not to shoot etc.

To the Nixon ghosts -- we the people are the enemy.
