Did anybody really believe that activists and protesters would stand around in a cage in a parking lot surrounded by police and Secret Service?
The Christian Science Monitor:
They're outside city offices, in parks, on the capitol steps and near the US Mint. But the one place most protesters here are avoiding is the official demonstration zone, a fenced-in parking lot near the Democratic National Convention that activists here mockingly call "the freedom cage."The 47,000-square-foot zone is hemmed by rows of metal barricades and concrete barriers and watched over by uniformed Secret Service agents. Views of the Pepsi Center convention site, some 700 feet away, are blocked by a giant tent housing news media.
That sounds fantastic. I wonder why it's empty.
