Drake Univ. Supeonas / Thugs at Dean event. Coincidence or Retribution?
Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 10:08 PM by graphixtech
simply Coincidence?
Someone on this site noticed this obscure connection, so I researched it and confirmed this fact (VERY odd that the Ch. 5 news website link is now missing)

Drake University is the same place that the college Brownshirt Republicans crashed the Dean (Joan Jett) rally on January 17t h!!!
This is far too coincidental. Might someone have gotten so much negative feedback about that incident that they decided to call in their Friends?

Has anyone else noticed this connection? This is a very serious matter that deserves our full scrutiny.

As a Des Moines native and US citizen, I find this Fed involvement absolutely infuriating. Please call the US Attorney's office in Des Moines on Monday and voice your opinion on this critically important issue (the Grand Jury appearance is on Tuesday). This issue has made the front page of the DM Register for several days, so be assured that MANY people are calling. You will be in good company.

Here are the phone contact specifics:

The phone number is 515-284-6257. PLEASE CALL and tell them that you have heard about this case, and that you are concerned about the apparent violation of freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble that this legal action is apparently targeting. If it can happen in Iowa, it can happen anywhere.

Sorry to use this dirty link, but it tells the original details and links to the original Channel 5 story which has myseriously disappeared:

"Political Rallies End in Brawl
Two political rallies turned into a brawl Saturday night in Des Moines.

"A Democratic rally at Drake's Olmstead Center, urged young Iowans to get out and vote. It was targeted toward high school and college students. A group known for not voting. The rally featured comedian Janene Garafalo and classic rock star Joan Jett, but it got a surprise visit from some unwanted guests.

"A group of college republicans at their Midwest caucus leadership conference heard about the rally and stormed in.

"There are seven of us who worked really hard at putting this conference together, said Jason Cole of the college repu..."

not even the shrub has mentioned it as being wrong so he has implied consent.
