I didn't really do it justice.
The ridiculous intimidation of a peaceful anti-illegal immigration rally in Morristown, TN needs a little more attention than I gave it in the post below. You can still read the news story at the link provided there, but I think the pictures say much more than can be described there. Here's a sample, and keep in mind that this is a pre-arranged, peaceful rally with all the necessary permits, et. al.
Other pictures at the site include shots of the tracked armored vehicle, helicopter, two mobile command units, a fire truck with hoses unrolled, and a parking lot full of squad cars (that coincidentally forced anyone who wanted to attend the rally to park several blocks away).
This is Tennessee, but you'd think it was China.
For what it's worth, I don't care what kind of group is having a rally - this kind of 'prior restraint' is a blatant infringement on the right to free speech. I'd be just as upset no matter what kind of group was being stifled like this.

I have to wonder what sparked a decision like that? Has this town never had a rally before? Is the police chief vehemently pro-immigration and decided to use his post as a political powerhouse? Would they react like that if it was a pro-abortion rally? What about a pro-life rally? Bulletproof vests? Looks to me like a case of the Only Ones getting bored and taking the "opportunity" to use some of their Only Ones Gear.
