Marion man charged with attempting to throw feces at DNC
By Associated Press Thursday, August 28, 2008
DENVER - A Massachusetts man in Denver this week during the Democratic National Convention is facing charges of attempting to use a feces-filled bottle as a weapon.
A Denver County Court complaint indicates 22-year-old Zachary Patrick Grey of Marion, Mass., was arrested Monday following a foot chase.
The Denver Post reports Grey dropped the bottle while he was running, but that police said he was getting ready to throw it.
Grey said the bottle contained coffee with soy milk, not feces. He said he wasn’t protesting anything at the time he was arrested.
The Denver City Council passed an ordinance earlier this month barring protesters from carrying feces for use as protest material during the convention.

This is absolutely hysterical, and in the true sense of the word. Especially the last line indicating that this action was indeed a possibility and they needed a specific ordinance.
Never mind possible armaments...throwing poopoo will NOT be tolerated.
Does the ordinance also bar other items of interest from being thrown? What about mud that looks like poo? Can you throw poodles? If it was proved that Mr. Grey did indeed only have coffee & soy milk in that container, will he be set free? Coffee with soy milk is perfectly legitimate to throw at presidential candidates. Whole milk? Nuh uh...to jail for you. 2% milk? You just have to wipe Bill Clinton's "tears" after he mouths "I love you" to Hillary. (btw, he really just said "Olive Juice"...try that in a mirror).
Anyway, if you haven't yet already checked it out, go over to "I ain't no Oprah"'s blog to check out his photo commentary on the DNC. It's pretty damned funny.
Enjoy the day. No poop for you.

I don't blame Denver for creating that specific ordinance Joe.
I'm sure they figure there's so much shit being thrown around inside the DNC that they don't need shit being thrown around outside it as well.
Kerry is the biggest shit thrower, but when I imagine Obama Girl I imagine her only throwing soy milk cause she's hot....
