SilentStrider: what an ass.

what an a$$

Or do you mean,

Hero tag should not be used ironically.

Um, no, if you read the article, Subby, he's wants to raise the fines BECAUSE OF and DURING the G8 summit. He's not trying to pretend the increases have nothing to do with the summit. What the hell is this "just in time for" crap?

That being said, I don't like it, but it is a shrewd move...

When "Resisting Arrest" is synonymous for "exercising your first amendment rights," this guy is a fascist.

Toss him in a manure pit and take him to Cell # 5.

I thought the fine for resisting arrest in Chicago was getting your skull cracked and brain damage for life by the Chicago PD.

FTA: The proposal introduced at today's City Council meeting also would allow Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to deputize officers with other agencies, including the FBI and Illinois State Police.

Fark you.

That bastard is going to just rahm this through, isn't he.

His dad was a Israeli terrorist. Freedom fighter. Original occupy Jerusalem protester. If anything, rahm Emmanuel is a hypocriite.

Can't get rid of this bastard fast enough.

I don't understand. So many cheered when Bush/Cheney did much the same at the federal level ('free speech areas', 'it's just a piece of paper', &c, &c).

FTFY.

I for one can't understand why these elitist G8'ers don't hold their meetings in a place where they can be certain of their privacy, where they can cook up their schemes unmolested by the unwashed masses.

The planet Mercury might be a good choice.

Makes perfect sense to me. Charge people with no money, more money.

It works for the banks.

I don't trust that guy based on his name. His shiat's all farked up and his parents got it backwards or something.

1. "Free Speech Zones" have been used by both parties to restrict protesters, and are

2. What did Bush do at a "federal level" regarding Free Speech Zones?

3. The "It's just a piece of paper" quote was a work of fiction by a left-wing shill.

Shaky moral high-ground there, partner.

Meet the new boss.

Yeah, subby, fark the 1st Ammendment!

Nah, Mercury is a bit hard for all their tax-payer-funded private jets to get to. How about they meet inside an active volcano, instead?

it's not fascist unless a republican does it. get a clue people

Coulda used this during the occupy crowd. Missed opportunities. . . .

Clinton started the free speech zones, you useful idiot. I doubt you complained.

Remember, leftists, this guy was Obama's White House Chief of Staff.

I don't suppose you guys have noticed what's been lacking from the protests in Chicago, right? And that's because the police department under Rahm's direction has been coordinating with the protestors over on LaSalle. Of course, when some of the protestors decided they wanted to try squatting in Grant Park, that was taken care of calmly and reasonably. But there was no head cracking, minimal arrests and so on. Talking about Emmanuel like he's the mayor of Oxford, MS in the 60's is just silly. (Of course, it helps that the protestors here have been mostly reasonable in acting like, well, protestors instead of pulling silly stunts like the dolts in Oakland who though trying to set up a village in front of City Hall was a good idea.)

Emmanuel is being a responsible mayor and preparing ahead of time to minimize the kind of crap that you get when G8 protestors with their nutbar conspiracy theories come to town and wreck the place, like in Toronto and so that you also don't get the police overreaction that happens in such cases.

The proposal also would appear to give the mayor greater power to sign contracts related to planning security and logistics without City Council approval.

Step Three: Eliminate City Council

djh0101010Remember, leftists, this guy was Obama's White House Chief of Staff.

And was also rejected less than two years later when he was a little to abrasive..

I don't think there is a problem admitting that he may be an overachiever, and sort of a douche. Liberal Douches do exist. Barney Frank might be personally a douche, but funny as hell too.

/I think the agent on Entourage was based on this guy's brother. Another brother might be a surgon.

Enemabag Jones: And was also rejected less than two years later when he was a little to abrasive..

So, he lasted longer than the average Chief of Staff does, and left to run for Mayor of a premier city in the US. Yep, totally rejected.

TheShavingofOccam123: I hope the fascists who work for the 1% understand that if you choke off peaceful dissent, you get escalation.

Enjoy what you reap.


Ever wonder if that was the intent?

Yeah.

Volcanoes? I thought of that .

Also Bikini Atoll.

Not really. My vote would be for a February summit in Resolute, Nunavut, which has an airstrip and four hotels. If it has to be in the United States, then there are a number of charming little communities on Alaska's North Slope where the temperature in August usually stays above freezing all day.
