5 arrested in Arizona at anti-Bush protest

[Bluebear]

Five people were arrested yesterday, including a UA student, during a post-election protest, in which people marched from De Anza Park, North Speedway Boulevard and North Stone Avenue, to the Federal Building, 300 W. Congress St.

Organized by the Tucson Chapter of the Nation Lawyers Guild, Refuse and Resist, Food Not Bombs and Dry River Collective, the march called for action to protect peace, freedom and security in America.

Tucson Police Department Sgt. Carlos Valdez said at 4 p.m. officers began warning protesters to remain off the streets as they walked along North Fourth Avenue because they were disrupting traffic during the march. When protesters did not comply, Valdez said officers sprayed people with pepper balls and arrested them.

The charges in the five arrests included failing to comply with an officer giving traffic directions, interfering with government operations, obstructing a roadway and resisting arrest, Valdez said.

3. Wow, it's amazing at how quickly * has re-united this country!

Hey, * thinks that his sweet words while doing the opposite actions is what it takes.

Some 50 million imbeciles believe the same thing too. "Have faith," they said, "things will be much better in a year." Bull shit.

4. I think it is going to get ugly in..............

the next few weeks. As soon as people come out of the shock they are going to vent. If we get hit again soon all bets will be off because the lid will really come off then.

"If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the good, so that it was kept under control. As it grew larger, however, and finally in an ultimate spurt of growth attained ruling power, the tumor broke open, as it were, and infected the whole body. The greater part of its former opponents went into hiding."

5. This is the first I heard of it and I live in Tucson

This was apparently only in the University paper and not in the Arizona Dail Star or the Tucson Citzen. None of my family or friends heard or seen it on the local tv or radio stations.

So much for that damn liberal press????
