In the Streets

Anonymous Comrade writes "An ad-hoc coaltion of anti-war groups is planning a massive non-violent civil disobedience at 8 am on Thursday, March 27.

The group agreed to target the media/government collusion that is
promoting this war to further corporate interests. The Rockefeller
Center area was chosen as the target since many media and corporations
have offices there or nearby.

Fully decked out for urban combat they looked fine. Presence of K9 units, officers with 3 foot clubs, semiautomatic rifles and tear gas launchers present from the beginning along with all the cars trying to block us off and the cavalry.

NYC Anarchists Plan Breakaway Action, March 22, 2003

March 21, 2003 - 9:25am -- jim

Anonymous Comrade writes

We, a loose collective of NYC anarchists, call on all those outraged

with the US War Machine to join us in a breakaway march during the

Sat., March 22nd anti-war demonstration.

Why a Breakaway March?

While we will respect the parameters of the permitted march and the

wishes of those participating in it, we also feel the need to make a

space for more creative action. We will express ourselves without the

permission of the cops, Bloomberg, or the state. We will choose when,

where, and how we show our outrage against this war. Join us!

Gather on Broadway between 40th and 41st streets and stay in the

middle of the march. Look for black flags! Listen for air horns!

See you there!

"He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now."

'Deadly Force' Authorized Against Protestors

March 15, 2003 - 8:03pm -- Uncle Fluffy

Louis Lingg writes "The Sacramento Bee is reporting that military police at Vandenberg Air Force Base have been authorized to use deadly force against anti-war protestors attempting to infiltrate the base.

"'Military police will use their
"judgment, experience and training' to
determine if lethal force is necessary,
she [Maj. Stacee Bako] said.

"Deadly force can be used when
lesser means of force aren't feasible or have failed, and to protect (Department of Defense) assets designated as
vital to the national security," she explained.

The deadly force policy will not deter protesters, said Peter Lumsdaine of the Vandenberg Action Coalition, one
of the organizers of the planned trespassing.""
