war resister protest in local news

11.15.07

Guess who that is the red cap? None other than my partner, our esteemed Redsock.

This picture from Metro News makes me smile, because of my prior history with this sort of thing. When I was younger, every time I'd go to a demonstration, my picture would end up in the newspaper. It started in Philadelphia, where I went to university, and continued well into my Brooklyn years. Making it easy for the FBI, I guess. It hasn't happened in a long time, but perhaps Allan is taking over my former role.

(Update: the photo caption is incorrect. The protest was in front of the Federal Courthouse, as it was in response to the Supreme Court decision, not in front of the US Embassy. As much as we like to protest there.)

There was also a very sympathetic story in the Toronto Star today.
