Denver Protestors Arrested, Mased
 Wednesday, August 27th, 2008  by Connie T.

Chaos ensued in Denver, Colorado on Monday when anti-war protestors outside the Democratic National Convention were doused with pepper spray by police for marching in the streets. A video of the incident is above.

As you may have seen on the Video of the Day on our forum yesterday, an alliance of many different groups with over 1,000 protestors marched up and down the street with signs like "No War On Iran," "FISA = Fascism," "Out of Iraq Now," etc. A FOX News reporter tried to ask demonstrators what their message was, and one man yelled into the microphone (live), "F*** FOX!!" The crowd then all began chanting, "F*** FOX News, F*** FOX News!"

Police in riot gear arrested about 100 people from the streets, claiming they were disrupting traffic near the Denver City and County Building. The only warning they were given before police used force was "3, 2, 1." Rubber pellets and batons were also used by police.

Will the antiwar protestors be awarded a judgment in the millions by courts for wrongful arrests, as we just saw in New York City? If so, and if it's anything like that case, it could take years. But we'll keep up with the story for you! If you or someone you know was present and arrested at the rally, and have information that we might publish, please send tips to:
