    assault rifle, not machine gun

    A machine gun is a heavier class of weapon.

    And I can attest that the police are making their presence known in the streets of Denver. I was up there on Sunday to register for the music festival and sell some anti-McCain t-shirts my friends had designed and everywhere there were police.

    It appears they're attempting to intimidate any problems out of existence, but I dunno. They had several white vans full of officers following the IVAW protesters who were a bunch of young kids, Code Pink ladies, some older folks, and assorted people with Peace on their mind. Noone I would think that requires such police supervision.
