While I agree that the analogy between deadheads and Poland is
a bit rediculous, the following anecdote does seem to indicate 
some element of truth to that notion:


At the Wednsday night providence show, out in the carpeted area, the
dancing was abrubtly interrupted by a very ugly sight.  A big burly
policman was dragging an apparrently terrified young man out of the
arena.  It was really not clear why this was happening, but the victim
was putting up a trendous amount of resistance.  THe cop was literally
pulling him by his hair  and manhandling him in such a way as to cause serious
damage if it continued.  The cop had dragged him to the door and the young
man was holding onto the door frame for dear life.

A crowd started to gather around, but everyone was justifiably cautious
about interfering.  One brave soul, a man in his mid 30's, approached
the  cop and kid and tried to mediate the situation.  He pushed the cops
hand away from the kid hair, and picked the kid up by his feet, as
though to help remove him in a more humane manner.  But the cop
persisted.  Suddenly, the crowd spontaneously approached closer and the
cop, being distracted, let go and the kid got away.



The End.
