Or is it that they don't want pictures of what happens? <br /><br />Wny is there a no fly zone over Ferguson because supposedly a police helicopter was "shot at" the first night? Is it for police safety? Or is it because having an aerial perspective we could really see what is going on? girlvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431758200580814440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-34207106709342799102014-08-19T19:56:35.183-05:002014-08-19T19:56:35.183-05:00During the Republican convention in San Diego a lo...During the Republican convention in San Diego a long time ago, protesters were assigned to the protesting pens several blocks from the convention.

The members of the assembled group must have in mind a fixed purpose to perform an illegal act. The time when the intent is formed is immaterial, and it does not matter whether the purpose of the group is lawful or unlawful if they intend to carry out that purpose in a way that is likely to precipitate a breach of the peace.girlvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431758200580814440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-30154252737076625032014-08-19T08:36:30.409-05:002014-08-19T08:36:30.409-05:00I was there "back in the day" also.
