First they came for the poor black and Latino men, building new prisons and factories to house them, I did not speak up because I was not poor, I was not Black or Latino, I did not consider myself a criminal…..
Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak up because I was not a Muslim...
Then they came for the immigrants and I did not speak up because I was not an immigrant, though my grandparents where…
Then they came for the war protesters, and I did not speak up because I only observe and do not get involved...
Then they came for the anti-imperialist, and I did not speak up because I did not want me neighbors to know my political thoughts…..
THEN…………………………………………………………………………………
Hey Brattleboro I miss you but now I am in the belly of the beast and I was present in DC yesterday when the park police who are a cabinet level agency in the Bush Administration suppressed a press conference called to protest the fines and threats against the ANSWER Coalition for putting up anti-war posters promoting the September 15 March and Die-In in Washington DC. At one point a cop on a horse nearly knocked down a 13 year old girl who was distraught as the police where arresting her mother, two of the three arrested where merely putting up posters and a third man was arrested for “touching” a bucket and charged with “assaulting an officer”???
WHY ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT??
