Outside Karl Rove’s Dinner Speech

Denise rides off with cops

August 23, 2008August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Protester Denise Ogonoski can be seen in the back seat, being taken away by police. She was taken in because she had climbed up a light pole to put up a Tibetan flag outside the Chinese consulate. One thing that concerned me after this happened, was I overheard another protester asking where Denise was taken, and the police officer didn't seem to know or care to find out.
