'Gitmo On The Platte' Set As Holding Cell For DNC

DENVER (CBS4) ― CBS4 News has learned if mass arrests happen at the Democratic Convention, those taken into custody will be jailed in a warehouse owned by the City of Denver. Investigator Rick Sallinger discovered the location and managed to get inside for a look.

The newly created lockup is on the northeast side of Denver. Protesters have already given this place a name: "Gitmo on the Platte."

Inside are dozens are metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire.

"This is a secured environment," Capt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff's Department told CBS4. "We're concerned about how that's going to be utilized by people who will be potentially disruptive."

Couldn't they have used one of the secret FEMA camps and just "disappear" the arrested protesters?

Sort of funny if those who probably protested Gitmo are to be placed  in a holding area dubbed "Gitmo" :-)

Too bad we can't consider them 'Illegal Enemy Combatants' the same as the terrorists they support, and just deliver on the spot 5.56mm enemas to the shitpiles on top of their necks.

I wish I could be there to see those hippie scumbags caged like an animal. I would take great pleasure taunting them, taking their pictures and carrying signs that read "The Rove is all powerful". Then fling some poo back at them.

Not this time, they needed to keep using the WalMart as a WalMart "For now."

Since I'm home now and still under military orders I've been activated for the DNC. I'm still broken so no curb-stomping hippies for me  :hammer: it's only for admin work but I'll see what I can see.

Oh man.

I'm assuming "E-4" is some sort of military rank.  I'm assuming "NCO" is non-commissioned officers (those lower in rank than a lieutenant).  I'm assuming "WO" is warrant officers, although I have no idea how a warrant officer is different from any other type of officer.

But what is "TOC"?

Otherwise known as the command post, but "Command post" doesn't have a sufficiently professional-technical-jargon sound to it, so the Army started saying "TOC" back around the Viet Nam era.

Sucks to be you, Snugs, but that's what happens when you are both broken and literate in the Army.
