ATL-anons Protest Co$ (includes PIX and downloadables; Post is of EPIC LENGTH, be warned)

Mar 16, 2008 03:57

Atlanta was out in force despite riot squadders, tornadoes and rain. Huzzah!

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Why those guys were arrested . . . wonderbink March 17 2008, 05:17:26 UTC

As it reportedly turns out, the DeKalb police were not being as inconsistent as initially thought.

It was indeed the bullhorns that got those two guys arrested. And it was indeed for protesting without a permit. Apparently, protesting without bullhorns or certain other things can be done without a permit, but once you bring loud noises into it, you need a permit. Oopst.

Something to keep in mind for the next go-round, I guess.

Still not sure what the dealio is with the car horns, though.

The problems with the Anons being arrested for bullhorns ( ... )

In short, despite Anon bending over backwards to be peaceful and law-abiding, ATL cops (or, more precisely, DeKalb County cops) chose to arbitrarily cite and arrest hapless bystanders and two Anons perceived as "leaders." It's been suggested that this would not fly in the city of ATL proper, but that because Terrell Bolton is a corrupt piece of goose poop and because the DeKalb police department is already in an uproar over his policies and inconsistent application thereof, and his own hypocrisy on several issues (punishing another officer for not registering vehicles within 30 days when his own RV home was donned with grossly outdated Texas reg stickers and info), some suspect that the Co$ bought themselves the increased police collusion. One hates to think such, but the contrast between the response in ATL (riot squads? riot copters? WTF?) and elsewhere worldwide is rather embarrassing and glaring. Even Clearwater and several sites in California, arguably the main hives of Scilon activity, did not report this kind of response ( ... )
