> passed 2 laws clearly geared at taking away people rights to assemble.
> In a near secret meeting the council went over 4 proposals to limit the
> rights of demonstrators from June 1st thru 6th. They ranged from not being
> allowed to have water bottles downtown to not being able wear masks and
> hoods. Because of protesters presence and pressure on the council only 2 of
> the measures have passed.
> It is now illegal on June 1st thru 6th to wear masks or hoods in the
> inner city, and it is illegal to fill small gas cans with gasoline unless an
> emergency requires it. Both laws are under appeal.
> The Detroit areas large Muslim population has also vowed to stand along
