Not letting people leave a building could be considered kidnapping. Do you remember when O. J. Simpson wouldn't let a guy leave his hotel room? He was charged with kidnapping.

Video of police provocateurs --
Thom, hope you're reading the blog :) I believe you mentioned during the first hour of the show that you've seen video of provocateurs dressed as protestors or anarchists who vandalize property and are later seen walking away with the police "as if they were one of them". Could you post a link if you have one?
Meanwhile, on our local corporate "news" station (KCBS-AM 740 San Francisco) they went with a story (right after you mentioned the provocateurs) about how the former chief of the Oakland PD was upset about the property damage caused by, and I quote, the "violent Occupy Oakland protests." So that's the line the corporate media, even here in the "liberal" Bay Area, continue to push.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
The slogan for the entire Democratic Party in this election cycle should be "Something Versus Nothing".
