from frog..
THOUGHT POLICE ARE ALIVE AND WELL IN DEALEY PLAZA..........ORWELL WOULD BE
PLEASED.
For those of you that have never been there, $5.00 for a newspaper with many
unique articles and photos is not excessive. $10.00 for a walking tour is
not excessive. Visited there for the past 17 years every November, and
never had a "run-in" with any of these vendors.

No visit to Dealey Plaza is complete without a run-in with vendors
selling maps, newspapers and conspiracy theories.
That may soon change as Dallas police crack down on the street peddlers,
who can be ticketed and arrested if they lack the proper permits.
"When a visitor is coming to ... Dallas, and the first thing they are
being cussed at or spit on or harassed, that's not the image we want
portrayed," Deputy Police Chief Vince Golbeck said.
Michael Brownlow talks about conspiracy theories and gives tours at the
downtown plaza alongside the spot where President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated. Even Brownlow acknowledges that sometimes the vendors get
out of hand.
"They walk up and say, 'Would you like a tour?' and you say no and they
continue on and continue on and they actually intimidate people, and
some people are scared," he said.
But Brownlow says not all vendors are like that. He says some, like him,
simply want to spread the word about different theories on the
assassination.
He said he believes that police are heavy-handed when dealing with
vendors, and he watched a good friend arrested last weekend.
"I feel like his civil rights were violated and his constitutional
rights," he said.
Dallas police say the vendors can give papers away or sell them on
public sidewalks, but once they enter Dealey Plaza, which is considered
a park, they are committing a crime.
"It is giving another perspective of that important piece of history,"
Golbeck said, "and that is fine if they are doing so on public property."
