WTF.

I am really upset about this. Local SF author Peter Watts was beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested by US border guards while trying to cross back into Canada. For, basically, asking why his car was being searched

Here is Peter's description of what happened.

Sickening. M and I made a donation to help with his legal funds. I hope it helps a bit.

I'm with you on being upset about this. But...I have to say it, I'm tempering my upsettedness. I'll wait for full outrage when I see the CCTV and photographs of injury, which there was apparently.

I've read both of his blog posts, and the majority of the commentary and as many of the news posts as I've found in the past

I'm sorry about the wall of text. When I tried to fix it, it didn't work, and I don't want to overload your inbox with notifications while trying to continue to fix it. Props to people who make it through the lack of paragraph breaks :(
