1. He sprayed her again as she was walking away.
Because nailing her right in the face the first time just wasn't enough. Disgusting.

2. That is truly sickening.
Journalists jailed and girls with flowers pepper sprayed. Seriously scary times we live in.

3. I haven't called it a democracy for quite awhile now....
this is surreal.

It was never even this bad in the 60's.

4. I can't say how it was in the 60's, as I was not there.
But are you sure the difference isn't just that today we have abundant cameras to capture it and the net to distribute it?

Like I said, I'm not disputing you, I just want to make sure you're considering all angles.

6. OK fuck Palin, the real news is the MIC has crossed the rubicon
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 01:44 AM by windoe
police have turned on the citizenry-and Keith Olberman needs to lead with this story, if he does not, and no one can get Obama to respond to these crimes, it is
a sign. I wonder if martial law would ever actually 'be declared' in Orweillian Amerikka?

Sorry my iPhone typing sucks!!!!!

7. No need to declare it.
You just ease into it and nobody notices. Well, we notice it, but can't get anybody to listen.
