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. Inside are dozens are metal cages. They are made out of chain link fence material and topped by rolls of barbed wire. The protesters have already given this place a name: “Gitmo on the Platte.”
If by “Gitmo on the Platte” they mean that they’ll have access to clean water, food, and legal recourse through the U.S. justice system, then I suppose that’s accurate enough. Maybe the protesters meant “Gulag on the Platte?”
