I hate hippies . . .
I hate hippies almost as much as I hate fascists. This story brings them both together. Oh, and I love the First Amendment too so, this shit is dumb to me. Pun intended!
I'm sorry. I'm afraid I missed the "hippie" connection. I read the article and failed to find a single hippie or mention thereof. Are we saying that the people of Denver are hippies? Or that all protesters are hippies? I'm confused. In any event, you don't hate all hippies (like my mother), just the "patchouli stanky, never bathe, birkenstock wearing, sew their own clothes, vegan, chain themselves to trees" ones and most of them live in Boulder not Denver.
Hickenlooper became mayor the year I left Denver. The radio DJs call him "Lickenpooper." One DJ interviewed him in a very "meow" sort of way...
"Now Mr. Lickenpooper, what's the first thing you'd like to fix about Denver?"
"Uhh, it's Hickenlooper."
"Right, sorry. So, Mr. Lickenpooper, where do you stand on the new city hall building idea?"
You saw the hippies, the crazy protesters. Not all protesters of course. Those that are reasonable, I have no problem with. I am 150% behind the rights of ALL protesters but the crazy ones annoy me and I hate them.

Perhaps "HATE" is too strong of a word for how I feel about hippies. Perhaps.
