Be sure to stick with it to the end, when Marta gets a whiff of tear gas along with the protesters. More real journalism here than a month of cable news (not your usual light-and-fluffy humor)

"that didn't feel like being an American"

Or maybe it did... just not what feeling like being an American should be!

[Why Syzygy]

1. The cops gassed them just to disperse the crowd.

Lame. This is very sad but oh so not surprising in Bush's America.

[HopeHoops]

2. I fully agree - that's actual journalism. Go Marta!

This administration has left a clear legacy - fascism

3. Thanks for the Reporting, Gnooze, and thanks for the post caraher. n/t

4. The U.S. government gasses its own people....

Shame

[MrMickeysMom]

5. And, for WHAT?

Scare tactics, per the marching orders of what?... Homeland Security?

Arresting and gassing peaceful demonstrators and journalists must offer one of the few choices of job security in St. Paul, MN.

Shame on you, St. Paul.

6. the message is clear

don't exercise your right to peaceable assembly

I think it's never about the message, its that on principle there are not to be popular demonstrations of any but the carefully corporate-managed variety.
