ST. PAUL, Minn. - The assistant police chief on Monday assured state lawmakers that demonstrators outside the Republican National Convention won't be confined to fenced-in areas.

Matt Bostrom said the city might erect barricades but he doesn't envision enclosures where protesters would be relegated. He told a legislative panel that demonstrators will be granted "sight and sound" access to the Xcel Energy Center, where the main convention business will be conducted next September.

2. No Free-Speech Zones?

But.. But.. how will I exercice my right to free speech without a government-authorized zone, surrouned by concrete barriers, razor wire, and gun-and-taser-toting policement in full riot gear?

I... I don't know what do now!!!!
