The AmeriKan Police State is Already Here

"The Terror War Apparatus Is Turning Against Americans"

"This is one of the steps on Naomi Wolf's checklist..... Harrassing citizen's groups..... Last night I was with a group of 4 others (5 total) asked (forced) to leave a public event at a public school... we were told that it was private property.... even though hundreds of others were also standing on the property with signs (they were in line for Hillary, with Hillary signs..... we weren't).

When we pressed about how a public school could be considered private property, we were told that Hillary's people had "taken control" of the property and that it was private for this event. I asked if the taxpayers had been compensated with some type of rental fee (thinking it would at least be 'kind of' fair, if she had paid) but he just looked at me like "You gonna get tazed boy" and made some remark about going somewhere else to debate.

We weren't trying to cause trouble so then we left, but after we got to the sidewalk they sent another cop out to stand guard over us the entire time and finally a patrol car pulled up, blocked the lane, and got out to set up traffic flares. This blocked the entrance where we'd set up and caused people exiting the lot to avoid our location.

I am not sure why they chose to arbitrarily set up traffic control that would prevent people from coming near by us but we were watched the whole time, as if we were some kind of "suspects" instead of progressive activists at a campaign speech.

This was in Phoenix, Meetup Group 7...."
