(A subtle hint if I ever saw one, eh?)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately there will be no photos because she and her friends were immediately incarcerated&#8230; for the unspeakable crime of&#8230; of&#8230; (I can&#8217;t say it&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Showing up! (aaagh&#8230; I said it!)<br \/>\nNow, I&#8217;ve known Gina for quite some time now.

They were bracing for all hell breaking loose. The Republicans Convention was about as welcome in NYC as Osama bin Laden (Who was barely mentioned at all inside the convention. Strange.). But considering the small handful of incidents (Like the asshole stomping on a cop) among a crowd that large&#8230; I&#8217;d say the protesters were pretty damn organized and restrained. I&#8217;ve seen more violence at rock concerts *inside* Madison Square Garden than that.<\/p>\n<p>Silly me&#8230; I thought they had one big protest and went home! How was I supposed to know large numbers of them were being detained without charges somewhere?
