[FedCom] The hump on Bush's back

[Richard Crisp]

a little off topic, but i just head on the morning AM radio news that the 
Medford Oregon police fired paint balls full of cayenne pepper at a crowd of 
rowdy Kerry supporters that were creating a "problem" at a Bush rally.

After the AFL-CIO Goons attacked several Bush/Cheney offices two weeks ago, 
injuring a few people and causing much damage, I guess the police didn't 
want to have any chance of an "incident" involving POTUS ("not on my 
watch").

Did anyone catch any of the tactical comms in Medford when this happened?
