Something's rotten in the state of Minnesota. The Republican National Convention's in town, and it's been fucking bedlam, apparently.

People are getting arrested, unlawfully detained, maced, violently manhandled, and houses are being raided.

Freedom...?
Of speech? No.
To free assembly? No.
From unreasonable search and seizure? No.


No.

hahaha... i think im beginning to lose it a little bit love. i was in minneapolis for the rnc to work as a medic, and left in high panic because of gustav to get home, then ended up leaving new orleans after 6 hours of being there, and now im in jackson,trying to get back in. this is insane, so many of my friends are there right now. i was wondering how the rnc was for folks who actually live there.

The D. Press ran an article about it with Nathanael Secor's mugshot beside it. Evidently he was one of those taken in the house raids.

And he's an Americorps Vista.

It's almost funny. In the same way that losing fingers to frostbite is funny.
