Free Rob"Ruckus"Middaugh, Political Prisoner!

Rob "Ruckus" Middaugh has been on the front lines against state sponsored terror! For a number of years, Ruckus has been involved in marches, rallys and direct actions confronting and challenging the government's terrorist agents-cops, D.A.s and the like. He's there for the victims and their families. He's there for organizations fighting state terrorism like the October22 Coalition Against Police Brutality and Criminalization of a Generation.

During the demos at D2K in L.A., Ruckus was PUSHED into a cop(according to witnesses present) and subsequently arrested for "assault on an officer". He was forced by a court appointed "defense" attorney to plea guilty so he would recieve probation and be on his way.

Then came May Day 2001, and at a PEACEFUL demonstration of about 200 Anarchists dressed in black, the Long Beach cops launched an unprovoked TERRORIST ATTACK against the demonstrators. Ruckus was again arrested for felony "assault on an officer", and has been sentence to three years in state prison in Delano, Ca. because this represented a "violation" of probation, as well, of course, as a "second strike".

We must nelp and support our imprisoned comrades! I realize Ruckus is not the only political prisoner here, but he represents the latest victim of this freak show called American "justice"-FASCISM IN DISGUISE!
