Medics Question Use of Less Lethal Weapons at the RNC

Back



More at http://www.theuptake.org. Medics from the North Star Health Collective, who tended to injured protesters, police and media point out that less lethal weapons have maimed and killed people in the past. Garth Kahl, EMT and volunteer firefighter, claims the actions of the police using these weapons often "exacerbated" the situation.

The protesters should stand amongst the repug supporters so they too will feel the injustice of the system that they blindly support. Then maybe the thug traitors formerly known as policemen can be brought to book.

Or maybe... just maybe they are falling into the trap McCain set for them by taking a woman running mate. Anyway, this racist, arrogant and silly redneck doesn't need me to make him look like a moron... he's quite capable of achieving that on his own.

Idiot... of all the Iraqis insurgents in Iraq, an estimated 2% are associated with known terrorist networks. TWO PERCENT! Also, prior to 9/11 there had not been a terrorist attack for about 8 years. The number of murders in the U.S. PER YEAR far exceeds the number of people killed in 9/11 (about 3 times as much). Perhaps maybe the U.S. should take a closer look at it's domestic policies? Typical Republican poster... angry, irrational and completely ignorant.

"an estimated 2% are associated with known terrorist networks" IDIOT!!!!!! I could care less which band, orientation, faction or breed is..... A terrorist is a terrorist PERIOD! Kill Em All! The only good TERRORIST is a DEAD Terrorist! Maybe you can strap on a Super Hero Suit and solve the Domestic Policy Problem.......Cause it appears that you can sit on Ice Cream and tell what Flavor it is! GOTTA LOVE IT!

Typical bone-headed obnoxious Republican post not even worth tearing a part. If you think the 100,000 CIVIlIANS that have died during the American occupation of Iraq were "terrorists" than you have issues that extend well beyond politics.
