Denver Protesters Will Be Warehoused in Cages — CBS Affiliate Report

“Gitmo on the Platte”
“A sign on the wall reads ‘Warning! Electric stun devices used in this facility’.”
You know what? We may have to set up a legal defense fund for the PUMAs and others who will be protesting outside the convention center. What concerns me is that they could be arrested and detained for the slightest reason — perhaps no reason at all. “The One” cannot bear any protestations from anyone. (It is well-known that people with narcissistic tendencies are incapable of coping with dissent, especially ridicule.)
Do not miss this video of the “warehouse” where protestors will be caged en masse.
From the CBS affiliate in Denver:
CBS4 News has learned if mass arrests happen at the Democratic Convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the City of Denver. Investigator Rick Sallinger discovered the location and managed to get inside for a look.”
Jeralyn at TalkLeft.com has more. From her story, “Denver to House Mass Arrestees in Cages in Warehouse“:
Denver's CBS4 News reporter Rick Salinger scores an exclusive on Denver's plans for arrested protesters in the event of mass arrests — as proof, he and his camera people got inside and shot this video before being asked to leave.
The facility is a city owned warehouse.
Inside are dozens are metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire.
“This is a secured environment,” Capt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff's Department told CBS4. “We're concerned about how that's going to be utilized by people who will be potentially disruptive.”
Jeralyn reminds us of the “fiasco” in Manhattan during the GOP’s 2004 convention:
This is reminiscent of Manhattan's Pier 57 dubbed Guantanamo on the Hudson, during the 2004 Republican convention. It was a fiasco that ended with a judge ordering the release of 470 protesters or face fines of $1,000. per prisoner per day. Here's one detained protester's story. More details of the grimy conditions are in this AP article.
Will Denver make the same mistakes? Hopefully not, but Salinger's discovery is not promising news. There are ways to avoid this, I recapped several from the ACLU report on Pier 57 here.
