Denver Danger

By now, you've all heard of the bomb blast at the recruiting station in Times Square.  Most folks were fairly certain that it was most likely the work of some kind of anti-war and anti-military group or individual.  The fact that some Congresscitters received photos of the building, a picture of someone standing in front of the building with arms outstretched and a 10 page political manifesto seems to bear that idea out. 

This is, of course, the inevitable result of Code Pink's antics in Berserkeley.  Not that Code Pink openly advocates such illegal activities, but you know someone or some group was eventually going to take it to the next level.  Peaceful protests and singing "Kumbaya" is nice, but some folks will eventually think they aren't getting the desired results as fast as they would like.

Back in the 60's and early 70's, the radicals that eventually formed the "Weather Underground" started out peaceful and they started bombing unpopulated buildings to get attention and then they finally started outright targeting cops and others in authority.

I've been saying for the last several months that this summer is going to be violent and I predict that 2008 will make 1968 look absolutely Gandhi-esque!.  Obviously I hope I'm dead wrong and everything is as peaceful as an ice cream social.  Obviously that is too much to probably hope for when you read things like this Huffpo article and some of the comments (Don't if you have a week stomach) and you tell me what you think.

Add to that the neo-hippies that are organizing "Recreate 68" and you'll get a real sense that Denver is going to get ugly.

Today's incident is, unfortunately, just a harbinger of a violent political season to come.

Sadly, I agree with your predictions. You can bet I will not be anywhere near Denver.

Unfortunately, I suspect large cities with aggressive activists such as Seattle and Portland will likely not be exempt from at least some violence.
