in his city during DNC.

Let's see if there is a proportional number in NYC during the Thuglican Convention.

PS: from "Talk of the Nation" just now.

1. You know how this is going to be played?

Very few arrests at the DNC. "Wow, we repukes were very well behaved!"

Tons of arrests at the RNC. "Look at those sicko bastard DemocRATS! They are animals!" Mind you, the people arrested who actually support Kerry will probably be akin to the KKK and the David Koreshes and Tim McVeighs of the Repukes, and the ones who weren't affiliated with the Dems will be "ROR"'d, having flashed the secret hand signal of the RNC operatives. Very few true Dem supporters would be arrested for PEACEFUL protest.

2. That's what I was thinking, too; and yet the DNC arrests were most

likely anarchist types.
