DNC concerns: Did protesters plan to throw urine?A house FULL of urine? Ew!
DENVER (KJCT) -- A new kind of warning has come up about protesters gearing up for the Democratic National Convention.
Denver firefighters have learned of a house full of urine being stored to throw at police. An internal memo is warning first responders that disgusting acts are a significant concern.
Protesters in other cities have used urine and feces filled balloons to throw at police and there are concerns that could happen during the Democratic National Convention in Denver.Even more Ew!
Denver City Councilman Doug Linkhart has proposed an ordinance to keep protesters from carrying the so called urine bombs or other liquids in the protest areas.
Now, Freedom of Assembly is a protected human right to come together with other individuals to collectively express, promote, pursue and defend common interests. The First Amendment also provides the right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. However, law enforcement also has a duty to protect the general public and keep the peace.
When we resort to using our own feces and urine in an attempt to prevent law enforcement from keeping said peace, we have sadly crossed yet another threshold as a society.
Plus it is totally gross!!! Grow up, people. Really.
