    Andy McCarthy on the arrests and charges:

    "That's all well and good, but the question is: Will Bragg prosecute them? After all, it's not like they falsified their business records or anything ..."

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                I'm sure these came with instructions. I saw several on their "campground".

                                Note the price, although I'm sure they can be found cheaper.

                                      I think that these "protests" will quickly die down now. Two weeks from now, there wont be much left, especially after the semester has ended for most of the schools.

                                          I watched much the Columbia dispersal and roundup live last evening on the television - FYI, not on a US news channel either.

                                          I thought the NYPD undertook their mission in a measured and determined professional fashion. My congratulations to them. I hope too see similar here should the need arise.

                                          Ultimately though, as was demonstrated two years ago in Ottawa, police restraint in these matters is almost wholly dependent on the rabble and its ringleaders. Sometimes chips will fly.

                                          Elbows up!
