You have the right to remain silent

cyranoSo apparently the City of Boston has allowed a place for people to say things the DNC might not want to hear.
It's tucked away under the tracks of the El (Or whatever it's called in Boston--I don't remember), surrounded by chainlink and topped with razor wire. Admittedly, this report is coming from people who have been inside it, so they might be biased. After all, it's not a real relocation camp, and they willingly entered it. And I do understand that the City has a right and a need to protect its citizens from what they feel might be inconvenient or dangerous. As Mayor Daley said on the eve of the '68 Convention, the police are not there to create disorder, they're there to preserve disorder.
But I still don't like it.
