The city of Denver continues to prepare for the Democratic National Convention, August 25 - 28.
DENVER -- The Denver City Council has passed an ordinance barring protesters from carrying buckets of feces during the Democratic National Convention.
Three protest groups say they've already promised not to toss, smear or spray feces, and they call the new ordinance insulting and excessive.
The council approved the ordinance 12-0 on Monday. It also bars protesters from possessing chains, locks or other materials they could use to create human barricades or cause other disruptions.
Members of Re-create 68, Unconventional Action and Tent State University say the ordinance is overkill because they have signed an agreement not to use excrement.
Protesters are signing agreements? Interesting.
They think the Denver City Council is overreacting by issuing the ordinance because they already agreed not to use excrement.
I wonder if Jimmy Carter was involved in the negotiations.
In any event, the Democratic National Convention will be a feces-free zone.
Really?
I find that hard to believe, at least metaphorically speaking.
