suggestion for people attending NYC GOP convention

[gWbush is Mabus]

given the city's comment that there will be mass arrests...

1. be peaceful. civil disobedience, but no violence or vandalism

2. everyone bring camcorders. so we can prove that we are peaceful and so we can document police brutality/ and unfair arrests

[Howardx]

1. good call

a thousand camcorders pointed at them might give the cops pause

[bif]

2. And small digital still cameras

That can be easily concealed.

3. do you seriously think that people

are planning 'violence or vandalism'?

rather insulting.

we won't poison the water or kill puppies either. promise!

sheesh!

4. i think it could happen planned or not

look at seatle and atlanta (or was it miami?)


1 million pissed people (police and protestors) can get carried away.

5. Miami was the cops getting carried away, not the protestors

Seattle was too, to an extent, although there was vandalism going on.

Can someone point me to who threatened mass arrests in NYC?

7. Robert Morgenthau

NY DA. Link here, NYTimes has more.

And not a threat so much as a preparation.

6. Just a practical note.

You will be under some stress, not just police but crowds, yelling, long hours on your feet, noise, air pollution,ect.
Take time outs people, get a drink a coffee. Take an energy bar (Better enough to share). Get a good nights sleep before and take your vitamens.
Look out for your neighboor, how are they looking?
Friends I know I sound like your mother but I am serious. Do good but be good to your self too.

8. don't give them an excuse to arrest you

ie, don't carry weed. Bummer, I know.

9. 3. Bring a Flag and carry it high.

American Flag, your State Flag, Municipal Flag. Show them who we represent.

Besides, should TSHTF, would be some compelling images of phalanxes of armored police marching into a wall of American flags and cutting them down.
