According to the Denver Post, about 100 protesters were arrested Monday at the DNC. Around 7 p.m. last night police in riot gear pepper sprayed a crowd congregating outside the civic center. The police say that demonstrators charged the police line after being instructed to disperse. The Denver police maintain that they warned the crowd that they would use pepper spray if they did not comply with city ordinances.
As it stands this is the first instance of mass arrests at the DNC, but not the most covered. The AP is reporting that three suspected “white supremacists” were plotting to kill Barak Obama. The FBI along with the Denver police detained and arrested Tharin Gartrell, 28, Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, and Nathan Johnson, 32. The FBI is not revealing anymore details of the case other than what was found in Mr. Gartrell’s truck. Among the confiscated items were two rifles, walkie-talkies, and a bullet proof vest.
Aggression flared Monday, as Alex Jones confronted Michelle Malkin. Malkin is a Conservative journalist known for her support for FEMA internment camps. Alex can be seen pressuring Mrs. Malkin to give a response to her thoughts about secret prisons for Americans. During the confrontation an unknown source steps in front of Alex, clearly violating his space, and proceeds to yell in his face. Alex claims that the individual shoved him and in response he pushed him back, throwing him a few feet.
The media is claiming that Alex, in turn, called for Malkin’s murder, though the footage clearly shows that another group, not in association with Alex or We Are Change, was responsible for the remarks.
