Subject: RE: BS: Police state in Minneapolis-protest bus se
What should be clear to Americans is that your representatives in Government have sold your rights and a few freedoms under the guise of the Homeland Security Act and some Executive Orders. Many people have poo-poooed the idea, including some who've posted here. Well, poo-poo it now. That's just a very small taste of how it's gonna be real soon all the time. You have allowed your President and some real jerks in the Congress to over-ride fundamental rights. It may be too late to fight back now. Reap as you sow, etc. But lots of innocent people--kids, teens, are gonna be paying the price because of JQ Public's blase "We didn't think they meant to do THIS" attitude. WTF did people THINK they meant to do? Sit on the power and NOT use it?

Best wishes to you all.
