It is ironic that the reporter in attendance for the Star Tribune (one
sponsor of the debate/huge fighter for free speech) declined to report this
important occurrence in the article he wrote the next day. Steve Brandt, what
policy or reason had you leave this detail out of your article? It was a
watershed, and readers should have been told.
There is a large military cannon in front of the armory over NorthEast.
It is pointed toward downtown to the SouthWest. There was a rumor that the
cannon was to be fired that night, after the rally, toward City Hall. Little
did we know how loud would be the KABOOM of that year's city elections. How
glad and hopeful many are today.

Still waiting so I repeat: "Steve Brandt, what policy or reason had you
leave this detail out of your article? It was a watershed, and readers should
have been told." I look forward to your explanation here. Keith Reitman,
