The parties that create protest zones

MANIFESTO

I find virtually everything about the Olympics abhorrent, the fact that the IOC tacitly sanctions situations like this probably most so.

Two Beijing women in their late 70s have been sentenced to a year of administrative detention after applying to protest in the Chinese capital's Olympic protest zones ... This month, they visited Beijing police five times to apply to hold a demonstration in one of the officially sanctioned protest areas established for the Olympic Games, but instead of being granted that right, on Aug. 17 they were ordered to serve one year of "reeducation-through-labor."

So, people can protest in Beijing—the protest zones are all set up for them—but only with permission, and if they ask for permission, they'll be sent to a labor camp.

I mention this because this is only one step away from what the Democrats have planned in Denver next week.
