Republican Convention Demonstrators get “Legal Briefing”
ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of impact?
WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.– From the Book “Disorder in the American Courts” (a collection of things people have actually said in court)
**************************************************
More proof the Stupid Party made a massive mistake selecting the Capital of the People’s Republic of MN as the site for their convention in September: Local leftist lawyers are giving free legal advice to the demonstrators who plan the trash the convention (which the taxpayer will have to clean up). They’re being advised as to what to do if they are “questioned, detained or arrested” during the chaos they hope to incite.
I have some top notch “double-secret” advice far superior to anything they’ll hear from the local brownshirt-enablers: Avoid being questioned, detained or arrested” in the first place. It’s really very easy. All you have to do is ………….
1) If you want to take time away from your 9-5 job to protest (giggle), do so peacefully (THAT is a constitutional right)
2) Act your age instead of your political IQ (inciting anarchy is NOT a constitutional right)
3) Set a goal of trying to bathe at least once a week (optional)
4) Get a job (optional)
If you do the above it will minimize the adult supervision required. The police and taxpayer won’t have to babysit you.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Demonstrators get legal briefing
Peace activists, students and others who plan to demonstrate during the Republican National Convention learned Tuesday what they can do if they run into problems.
A group called the Coldsnap Legal Collective told about 30 people at St. Paul’s Macalester College what they should do if they are questioned, detained or arrested. The group was formed in January to create a network of legal support for protesters.
Among other things, Coldsnap trains people on legal rights, jail solidarity and consequences in the event of an arrest.
The Republican National Convention will be at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul from Sept. 1 through Sept. 4.
