Reply #36: "Protesting the dems" specifically or protesting the two-party system? [View All]

[WorseBeforeBetter]

I'm not familiar with what you've stated in your post, so I Googled:

2000 Democratic National Convention

RATM played a free concert at the 2000 Democratic National Convention in protest of the two-party system. The band had been considering playing a protest concert there since April of that year.<61> Although they were at first required by the City of Los Angeles to perform in a small venue at a considerable distance, early in August a United States district court judge ruled that the City's request was too restrictive and the City subsequently allowed the protests and concert to be held at a site across from the DNC.<61> The police response was to increase security measures, which included a 12 ft fence and patrolling by a minimum of 2,000 officers wearing riot gear, as well as additional horses, motorcycles, squad cars and police helicopters.<62> A police spokesperson said they were "gravely concerned because of security reasons".<62>
