Local Chickens Not So Fond Of Colonel

It turns our city officials don’t like Glenn Spagnuolo.
That might be news to some city officials who have dealt with him, officials who can’t stand him, say they find him “confrontational,” “adversarial” and “hypocritical,” but won’t go on the record.
One official who will is Brown, who has debated Spagnuolo on TV and radio about an ill-fated attempt to place restrictions on how the police could deal with protesters if things got out of hand.
“I wouldn’t want to get between him and a TV camera or a microphone,” Brown says.
“If you ever get him off a protest issue, he can be pleasant,” says Brown. “The problem is, he’s always on the protest bandwagon.”
Not that Spagnuolo would likely care what Brown thinks about him. That has nothing to do with the issues he believes so passionately in. It’s information that has no place in revolutionary politics. You know, the kind of stuff that belongs in some puff piece.
It’s one of the more subtle smear jobs, right down to the picture. Get it, Mr. Spagnuolo’s always on the camera?
Unlike, say, Denver city councilman Charlie Brown?
I love the Rocky, though. Mr. Spagnuolo doesn’t want to be interviewed, is obviously reticent, goes out of his fucking way to refuse answers, and gets smeared as a media whore.
It’s like the fucking hacks over on Colfax can’t even construct a coherent narrative when they try. Even their smears are fucking nonsensical.

That’s pretty weak to name one guy as the leader, and then all the successive journalists decide it’s true and repeat it. two people I worked for similarly get calls because earlier journalists used them.
The committee traveling to advertise RNC/DNC demos left some pamphlets. The DNC will definitely be a wide array of single issue groups plus some core generalized opponents. I can’t believe they’ll get a fence around the entire park which they gave to the democrats. A building or camper might be more useful for distributing food and as a meeting point. However, with the RNC, they say that the consensus plan is to do barricades. That sounds weird, because even if people had that plan, it would make a lot more sense not to print that. Maybe it is all part of propaganda war and causing the security to block the intersections first while everyone moves on to other things.
