Denver welcomes Democratic National Convention 2008 with friendly arms

I'm just not feeling the warmth here. The city has lots of bucks given to them for security during the convention. They're stocking up on pepper spray guns, launchers of some sort, maybe heavy duty Tasers and more. Denver is not yet divulging what all they are doing to prepare for hundreds, maybe thousands of liberal progressive political wonks.

Will they also be handing out leaflets on how to survive if you get caught in the middle of whatever Denver police are expecting to happen? What do you think? Always carry a wet washcloth? Carry a white flag? Have the name and phone number of your attorney in your pocket at all times?

*Doing so constitutes assault on your part (no matter that they fired it first).
