" Perhaps they feel the best course of action for the time being is to try to get rid of the asshat (can I say that?) under the radar. Then, if that doesn't work, more overt actions may become necessary."
Don't they read about the '60s? Believe me, being silent and acting like a victim doesn't help. And there are ways of getting the Admin and the town to sit up and take notice.
A few simple pointers :
Wear T-shirts with a message to class and around the campus. That's a good non-violent protest. (How about one that says, "They're innocent! Don't keep silent!") Even one person in a class wearing that, gets attention.
Wear the wristbands.
A couple of dozen students at the court house getting in the face of the cameras and press, and demanding to know why the coverage is so biased and anti-student, and anti-defense,
etc., will help. Flyers should be prepared already with a list of when and where the press has failed in its duty to report the news, and with URLS where they can find the truth; even reprints from Liestoppers. Make yourselves part of the story. (i.e., "The whole world is watching!" Let them know you'll be reporting on their news reports, watching for bias and errors.)
Do you know where we can get the wristbands? THe link provided does not work. I am interested in passing them out (and perhaps a flyer) at the Duke alum event featuring Reichsmarshal von Brodhead.
