All eyes are on Chicago this weekend - where an annual NATO Summit
is going up against the Occupy Movement. Tens of thousands of
demonstrators are expected to attend this weekend's marches and rallies,
calling for peace and economic fairness. Chicago police have already
spent more than a million dollars on riot gear and high-tech crowd
dispersal technology like long-range acoustic devices to use against the
peaceful Occupy demonstrators.
Already - in the lead up to this weekend's actions - twenty people
have been arrested - including some for protesting outside President
Obama's re-election headquarters on Monday. So keep an eye on Chicago
where the big question is: Will First Amendment rights be honored - or
will we see another violent crackdown by law enforcement against
patriotic Americans?
