These are just a few. I hope that other news sources around the country will pick up on this story. It's important, and terrifying. Please e-mail these links to people you know who would disagree with the treatment, but might never hear about it.

Soren has friends who were arrested, and one of my coworkers just barely talked her way out of it; it's worse than people want to admit to.

The amazing thing about these protests, to me, is how peaceful the protesters in the extreme main proved to be. That says something.

Also, that security at the convention couldn't screen out the infiltrating protesters is disquieting. Security should be better than that.

Abuse of peaceful protesters is so irritating.

That woman kicked by the conventioneer really sends me irate. The conventioneer should be arrested.

Some day in some way he will be kicked very hard in his private parts.
