RNC Shenanigans
Posted by Jeremy on September 2nd, 2008
Although I’m less then 5 minutes from the heart of the RNC action, and up until last month I would have been living in the middle of it - I just can’t tear myself away and go over there. As much as I wanted to document it all - my respect and loathing for the police is just to great.
I’ve been an ACLU spotter for a long time, I’ve been arrested in Illinois and WIsconsin multiple times. But I just couldn’t do it here. To much on the line these days.
But I highly recommend spotting once if you’ve never done it. You go where the protesters are, hand out ACLU information, and ’spot’ arrests and call the ACLU legal team to let them know what’s going down.
It can be rough, and you can be swept up with the fray, but at the end of the day, you do feel really good about making a difference.
