"Just days before the event the city pulled the group’s permit, claiming that the group planned on giving out ‘free ma*****na.’

David Burnis clarified at a press conference, “This is an organized protest against current ma*****na laws. We’re pretty sure people will bring their own.”

Burnis declared that the Yippies were going to gather with or without a permit, and that they would not allow their people to be passively hauled off to jail. “What we are suggesting is passive resistance. If one of our group gets led to jail, we will physically hang onto him.”

Lines were drawn. A letter signed by 18 inmates of the Mesa County Jail and sent to the Daily Sentinel, summed up the situation. “Protest to any law not representative of the people as a whole, is provided for in the bill of rights. We wish to appeal to the law enforcement agencies as well as demonstrations, to keep their heads in confrontations which will in all probability be unavoidable.”

By noon around 500 people had gathered in Lincoln Park. Moments after the event officially started the chaos began.

“We assumed the local police would stand around the outside of the crowd and pick people off, but that’s not what they did. They walked INTO the crowd,” said Lance. “Me being Yippie I followed them, [the cops] walked over to this poor little college kid, and [the cop] goes ‘this one’ and when they grabbed him, So I grabbed him, and bear-hugged his legs… and I wouldn’t let him go.”

"When New York assemblymember Zohran Mamdani apologized this month for calling the NYPD “anti-q***r,” it revealed far more about our country’s relationship to policing than it did about him. The fact that an elected official felt compelled to apologize to police for stating an obvious truth: that law enforcement has always been dangerous to q***r people, shows how deeply our culture resists acknowledging systemic harm. His original comment was correct then, and it remains correct now: law enforcement in America is and has always been unsafe for q***r communities.

This is especially true in isolated regions like Western Colorado, where danger is amplified by isolation, limited oversight, and cultural hostility that empower police to act with impunity."

New Library Trustee Exposes MCPL to Free Speech Battle

Earlier this year the Mesa County Commissioners broke with tradition of letting Library Trustees serve a second five-year-term without reapplying for the position. They used this break with tradition to appoint Katy Vanderveld. Vanderveld then pushed the library to host a Constitution Day (Sept. 17) event in the children’s area of the Main Branch of the Mesa County Library. This event was not a library event, and outside groups are not able to book the children’s area for non-library events. Lisa Fry of the conservative podcast Mesa County Compass, and Barb Evanson one of the MAGA-adjacent school board members were the organizers of this event that was not sponsored by any organization, but rather a loose network of home schoolers. Now if the MCPL denies a group from hosting lets say: a Drag story-hour, or the DSA from hosting a socialist kids story hour, the library will have opened themselves up to a major free speech lawsuit? Sources from within the library have reached out to the Rev with serious concerns about the favoritism associated with this event
