Pro-Israel Group Asks For Separate DNC Protest Zones

[Purveyor]

In a preview of the protests expected at September's Democratic National Convention, a pro-Israel group this week asked Charlotte-Mecklenburg police to create separate protest zones for its supporters and adversaries.

The Florida-based Shalom International, which made a similar request to police in Tampa for the Republican convention, plans to protest Obama administration policies at both conventions.

Shalom president Bob Kunst asked police to create separate free-speech zones for "those who support Israel and the Holocaust Survivors and one for the Jews haters and Israel haters.

"We don't want to be drowned out by 15,000 crazies," Kunst told the Observer.

2. Wow

So, if you have a problem with Israeli policies...that makes you a Jew hater?

Wonder how many "crazies" Mr. Kunst has in his group?

5. This whole idea of "protest zones" is an insult to any human being, let alone US citizen.

Recognizing any such zone as legit, ever, is tantamount to kneeling before a king. Fuck that shit. I will stand in any public place and say whatever the hell I please, and I will never subject myself to a herd of wannabe storm troopers pretending they are in some fucking theater of war. My taxes help pay these clowns and pay for their horseshit playtime gear. What manner of people pays their own abusers. (leaving aside the S&M folks)....

And who the fuck is this bob kunst bozo calling crazy. If he is referring to Occupy, then he is not simply a bozo but a myopic fucking bozo at that.

Ptotest zones and free speech zones are bullshit. This post kind of pissed me off.

I feel better now....Thanks Purveyor!
