It's up to people in Denver to decide this. randome Dec 2011 #177

What a heartless question. What the vigil does is remind people pnwmom Dec 2011 #187

this is about a Mayor and governor Slit Skirt Dec 2011 #203

No, it's about the friends and families of the deceased. pnwmom Dec 2011 #213

The Denver post is a right wing rag Slit Skirt Dec 2011 #218

OWS is still very relevant - stormpilot Dec 2011 #198

The act of denying anyone the right of free speech... BadtotheboneBob Dec 2011 #225

More a matter of drowning hypocricy. Mayor is the one who chose to give up the speech or whatever lonestarnot Dec 2011 #226

"... or whatever he was pretending to care about." BadtotheboneBob Dec 2011 #231

He apparently didn't care about putting people on the street now why would he actually care about lonestarnot Dec 2011 #235

No, but we should not allow the ruling class to dominate the discussion. Bjorn Against Dec 2011 #264

Since the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless wanted him to recite the names Bodhi BloodWave Dec 2011 #311

Don't try to tell me the mayor is not part of the ruling class. Bjorn Against Dec 2011 #329
