Congratulations, Denver!
You've just hosted the Democratic National Convention? So what are you going to do next? Nope, not a trip to DisneyWorld. How about a trip to federal district court, where you will face a suit for millions of dollars for unquestionably violating the civil rights of a member of the mainstream media?!
I'm not one to defend the media on most cases, which may seem a bit odd since that used to be my gig. However, this video borders on the absurd.
All of that for taking pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic money men and elected officials?
I hope St. Paul treats media better, otherwise my laptop might ought to stay home and I'll just write a pictureless book on dead wood.
RedState has a bunch more, as does Instapundit (here and here).
