The incident occurred about 8:15 a.m. Monday and lasted about 13 minutes, said Sgt. Tor Bjornstad of the Olympia Police Department. Those arrested for pedestrian interference were William Tubman, 24, of Olympia; Sam Tsohonis, 25, of Olympia; Michael Dyen, 20, of Olympia; Jess Sanders, 23, who gave a Seattle address. "These were their cars," Bjornstad said. "A person certainly has a right to do this to their car." Sanders, in a statement, said the incident was a protest of a possible war with Iraq. "By destroying my car, I disarm myself," he said. "All of us drivers are not so secret supporters of oil executives deciding the fate of millions of innocents in countries they have never visited, taking the lives of people they have never met." __________________ �2002 The Olympian http://www.theolympian.com/ ======= http://www.tribnet.com/news/local/story/2714273p-2762203c.html OLYMPIA: Protesters block bridge by destroying 2 cars Stefano Esposito; The News Tribune Four men drove onto Olympia's Fourth Avenue Bridge early Monday, blocked traffic and then began destroying their vehicles to protest a possible war with Iraq.
