Hello the list:
The response from our list to these recent posts is somewhat alarming.
Could it be that we are all staring slack-jawed at our screens unable to
believe what we are reading? Are we worried to post on this issue for
fear of sounding like apologists for criminals? Do we feel that sinister
forces are behind these actions and fear retribution?
I don't know what to believe.
First comes Rosalind's post referring us to a story on the re-charging at:
http://www.minneapolis.indymedia.org/
Then, based on her reading of the story, Carol explains that Hennepin
County has plenty of attorneys in its offices. Jordan, somewhat
snippily, explains why Carol is incorrect.
The _independent_media_center_ site seems short on facts and long on
rhetoric and continues to assert that Hennepin County is charging these
people on their front page. I've looked, in vain for reporting on this
in the Strib in the past few days. In fact, a search of the Strib web
site turned up mostly articles about foreign governments when I looked
for "city attorney" or "protest" near "charges."
Meanwhile, the list, usually a source of fervent discussion of hot
topics is, strangely silent. (A button I caught sight of in my wife's
drawer says "Silence is the voice of complicity") I know! ! We're all
still dumbstruck by events on the national stage. Let's get over it.
Most of know how little influence the federal government has in our
lives anymore. We need to stay focused on important issue here in
Minneapolis.
What is happening with this re-charging of the ISAG protesters? Can
anyone give a reporting that is not so "ideologically charged"?
Is it true that the ISAG protesters are being charged again and their
court date is January 10?
Is it true that the charges were filed on November 29 but not mailed
until December 29?
