It really doesn't look like it'd hold 5000 people. But, as one cop pointed out, since protesters eat only millet and such, they don't take up much room. Then he snickered.

You hardly even have to squint. But see how close the media tent is? And protesters will have microphones and speakers and bullhorns and all kinds of noisy stuff. The MSM will enjoy that.
From Gateway Pundit:
So what exactly is the DNC "Freedom Cage" and how do protesters feel about it?CBS4 explained:
A 50,000-square-foot demonstration zone that will have two layers of chain-link fences wrapped around it during the Democratic National Convention has been deemed the “freedom cage” by the leader of a group planning to march during the four-day event.
“We plan to go in that zone once only to protest its existence,” said Mark Cohen, co-founder and organizer of advocacy group Recreate 68. “When the media presents images of demonstrators in the demonstration zones in relationship to the Pepsi Center, the public will see what could look like prisoners.” Oh boy -- we'll really be fooled and we'll all feel sorry for you "prisoners" .... NOT. But, hey, don't worry, Woodstock, the Klown has a feeling you'll be in jail soon enough.
Cohen’s comments came Tuesday during a day-long trial over whether the city’s designated parade routes and a demonstration zone in a Pepsi Center parking lot meets protesters’ free speech rights.
Thomas Mestnik of Recreate 68, which plans at least five marches during convention week, said free speech means a group can be within sight and sound of where it wants its message to be delivered. Uh, I think you're confused, constitutional scholar hippie. Who told you this ... Ruth Bader Dimsburg? I've actually read the constitution and I recall "the right to freedom of speech" but I DO NOT recall "the right to be heard."
The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado and more than a dozen advocacy groups argue in the suit that the parade route and demonstration zone keep protesters from being seen or heard by delegates entering the Pepsi Center, where the convention begins Aug. 25. Denver and the Secret Service are named as defendants. Why is the ACLU almost ALWAYS against America?
Denver’s plan would allow protesters to get as close as a parking lot on the Pepsi Center’s grounds during the first three days of the convention and they would have to leave by 3 p.m., about the time delegates are expected to begin arriving each day.
Yes - well - the clairvoyant Klown shall make this prediction:
Somehow, the media will minimize/trivialize the DNC protesters and will maximize, hype, and legitimize, the RNC protesters.
