And the new law is aimed at…….
Poo and pee dominated a public hearing Monday on a new law that prohibits people from carrying certain items if they intend to use them for nefarious purposes.
The law, crafted in advance of the Democratic National Convention, was adopted unanimously by the City Council.
But not before a hearing laced with comedy and profanity.
Representatives from some of the groups planning large-scale protests during the DNC this month said the ordinance was unnecessary and accused city officials of fear mongering.
“The intent of this ordinance is to try to smear protesters and make them look as if they are somehow criminal or somehow going to engage in some kind of gross conduct,” said Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the Re- create 68 Alliance.
Look at the last few words. If someone wants to recreat the 1968 Democratic National Convention, then, guess what? Shit is involved. As the Wikipedia source notes (and I have seen it elsewhere,) the first of scifi writer Larry Nivens’ laws came from the convention: “Never throw shit at an armed man.” Its corollary, law 1a, is “Never stand next to someone who is throwing shit at an armed man.”
Remember, during the 2004 GOP convention in NYC, liberal protesters smeared feces on themselves in the attempt to make sure police would not touch them. Sick. And, BTW, in violation of the 1st Amendment, since it is not demonstrating “peaceably.”
And let’s not forget the other massive violence that occurred in 1968 (while the same people were protesting the violence in Vietnam. Go figure.)
The ordinance makes it illegal to carry certain items, such as chains, padlocks, carabiners and other locking devices. It also prohibits the possession of noxious substances.
They had been thinking of banning gas masks, too.
Check out some of the comments at the story. Very funny stuff.
