Denver won't enforce antiterror legislation
The Denver government passed a resolution discouraging police from enforcing new anti-terror legislation if doing so would interfere with peoplesâ civil rights. A non-binding resolution passed by the city council in response to the federal USA Patriot Act discourages Denver police from investigating groups or individuals based on their country of origin or immigration status. The resolution bars police from assisting in parts of the federal government's anti-terrorism campaign.
Probably nobody'll fly anything into any local landmarks, and chances are they'll bomb someplace else. Don't worry about it. It's all over now, folks. Nothin' to see. Move along, now. Look, over there! It's Gary Condit!
