FWD from Starhawk: http://www.starhawk.org
hi all, Mary Bull was arrested this morning at Chevron in the course of our
GREAT action, in which a river of blood (cornstarch, food coloring and
water) was spilled across the ground in front of the entrance to the plaza.
She is currently charged with felony vandalism, and we're asking people to
call the San Francisco District Attorney's office, Terence Hallinan, at
415-553-1741 and urge him to have the charges dropped. Please remember,
when calling, that Hallinan is generally very supportive of activists and
civil disobedience, so there's no need to take an antagonistic tone.
Otherwise, we succeeded in blockading both Chevron and Diane Feinstein's
office. something like thirty people were arrested altogether, all others
were charged with trespassing, cited and released.
Thanks for your support, Starhawk

Mary Bull is Out of Jail!

Good news! :
Mary Bull is out of jail, as of about 9:00 this evening. She's in good spirits, and is animatedly questioning people about the parts of the action she missed (she was taken away from the scene and put in a van). She has not slept, and plans to sue for the mistreatment she received while locked up.

>>> ... plans to sue for the mistreatment she received while locked up ... <<<
Isn't that what activism these days is really all about?!? People too lazy to work vandalizing someone else's property and then suing for the "mistreatment" they receive. I saw it at critical mass--cyclists deliberately trying to pick fights with motorists, then screaming "assault" if the motorists fought back.
Will she donate any money she wins to the cause? Doubtful.

Thanks to Mary Bull for her courageous efforts to speak truth to power. At a time when Bush and the chickenhawks make me ashamed to be an American citizen, people like Mary stand up and make me proud again. I hope you're successful with your suit: the SFPD should not mistreat anyone in their custody--yet all too often they do.
Whether Mary donates any money she might make in the rigorous process of suing and then eiher side appealing if the lose, she doesn't have to give any money to "the cause" unless sahe wants to. Mary is a tireless worker for what she thinks is important and has by her work, "donated to the cause" more than she ever could in money.
