Protests erupt over New Orleans housing

Protests against a City Council plan to tear down low-income New Orleans housing turned ugly Thursday, with police using pepper spray and stun guns to clear a crowd angry they weren't allowed into City Hall for the vote.

At about 11 a.m., several protesters were dragged out of council
chambers after scuffles broke out among people who packed the room, and
members of the crowd booed council members and shouted insults at them.

Police Spokesman states that these people were clearly there to be disruptive and disobedient. And the new fascist government will quell any show of disobedience by force. Several protesters were taken away by ambulance after being tased and beaten by law enforcement.

I'm quit sure that these people were only there to be disruptive. They couldn't have been interested in saving their homes from ethnic cleansing, American Style, and capitalist expansion and oppression.

We are no longer allowed to speak up for ourselves and our own rights and privileges in Amerika. Rule by mandate and by force is the order of the day.
