"A Lone Protestor Production"
Submitted by Bisbonian on Sun, 10/02/2016 - 6:02pm
My partner went to the Dem convention, to protest outside. She went with a good friend of both of ours, who has been videoing all sorts of protests and injustice for the last several years. She has a pretty slow internet connection, and finally had the time to get this video posted. Think of it now as an historical record, a view that most of us didn't see, outside the convention.

Nice production, as usual.
It's Festival Month in Baja, you guys going to any ?
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
We're so swamped.
Father and Uncle birthday party and reunion next weekend. And an uncle on my mother's side was murdered, so a memorial service, reunion around that, the next day. Then Taylor's birthday is the day after that. Four weeks of work, of course. The Pit Fire at Cochise College (you might look into that, always fun and...different.) The lake cleanup at Patagonia Lake, taking three kayaks. Halloween (Taylor is making a prop right now). And the beat goes on....

October is truly the Best Month of the Year.
Got a link for the Patagonia Lake thing ?
P.S. - Check out our Open Thread at TOP. Here's a link so you won't have to look at the recent list: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/03/1577055/-Baja-Arizona-Kos-Sunday-Open-Thread

I can't find a link
The Joys of Facebook. But it's at the beach area in the State Park, Sept 15th. I'm guessing 10 AM to all afternoon.

Can't thank you enough Bisbonian, and your partner especially!
I remember you mentioned she was there and documenting stuff.
I've just watched not even 3 minutes and just had to tell you how excellent it is already. Want to get back to watching it (we were there also and I have many recollections of the couple of days we spent and the amazing outpouring of support for Bernie that blanketed the city).
Please give her my deepest gratitude. This is exactly what fine citizen journalism looks like, and the kind that makes a difference.
Just wanted to drop a quick note now...
Thanks again!

What a bunch of out-of-shape cops, Intimidation!
That was a sad time. I don't think I can listen. Basement dwellers, indeed.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

Thanks to your partner
for showing this sad tale from outside the convention. The Democratic convention like the Nevada delegate convention was live proof of how anti-democratic bogus and rigged this farce of an election is. How can anyone vote for The Mad Bomber after watching with their lying eyes the fascistic frightening display we all saw. Way scarier then Trump who I suspect is part of the Clinton's show. USA,USA,USA! Thanks to you for posting it here.
