BACKROUND: Anarchist writer, Rob los Ricos, was arrested during an international day of solidarity in opposition to a G-8 Summit on June 18, 1999 in Eugene Oregon. The day the police came out to model their armor and excercise their force. Rob was sentenced to 7 years and 4 months for throwing a rock at a cop who was in pursuit. This is an outrageous sentence. The cop was not injured and is a known racist. "It was easy for the court to single me out for harsh = treatment. I was from out-of-town. I think, act, look and smell like a guy who lives in the woods (because I am) and I'm Tejano. I'm unashamed of being an anarchist, a political activist and a writer of anarchist diatribes" RlR For more information check out: www.defenestrator.org/roblosricos/index.html
