Calling all Viking Kitties!

The National Lawyers Guild, founded in 1937, is an association of lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers dedicated to the proposition that human rights are more important than property rights.
The Mass Defense Committee of the NLG-NYC Chapter, which has been providing legal observers and lawyers for activists since 1968, is proud to offer its depth of experience and knowledge to activists organizing events surrounding the Republican National Convention this summer in New York City. We can be contacted at:
Mass Defense Committee
National Lawyers Guild, New York City Chapter
143 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10016
(212) 679-6018
(212)679-6178 (fax)
nycmassdefense@riseup.net
The Committee is coordinating its efforts to provide RNC Mass Defense legal support with the People’s Law Collective, the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the New York Civil Liberties Union.
ATTORNEYS
We are actively recruiting lawyers to provide pro-bono (free) legal representation. Ideally, we will find enough pro-bono lawyers to represent everyone who may be arrested at protests during the Convention. However, given the possibility of unprecedented numbers of arrests, we cannot guarantee we will be able to recruit enough lawyers to volunteer. That is why the Guild is also recruiting lawyers who would be willing to provide legal representation at “low bono” (substantially reduced) rates. In light of this, activists may want to make some contingency legal defense fundraising plans.
If you are a lawyer interested in helping out, please download our Attorney Questionnaire (PDF format), and mail or fax it to:
RNC Mass Defense
National Lawyers Guild, New York City Chapter
143 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10016
Fax: (212) 679-6178
If you are a lawyer and are interested in helping, but you do not have criminal defense experience, we will be offering CLE trainings this summer. Fill out and send us the our Attorney Questionnaire (PDF format) and watch our Calendar for upcoming trainings.

Do I detect a subtle Viking suggestion?
No you don't give in to terrorists.
I'm going to assume that you've been imbibing a little too much. You don't understand the word "Libertarian" if you confuse it with the Left. You should go home. It's dark outside.
Calling all Viking Kitties!
Phew!
Now. Now. Don't go on like that. I'm sure we can find a corner for you somewhere in this forum.
Yeah, you're a troll. You claim to be a "left-leaning libertarian," yet spew all sorts of right-wing/conservative ideals.
You are NOT a Conservative in any way,shape,manner,nor form!
You're going to vote for Kerry,came here to toot your wee horn for him,and yet Kerry would do less than nothing,to make sure that the things you've stated you want,would come to fruition.
Don't be so hard on yourself! I know exactly where YOU "fit in".You belong in an insane asylum,dear. :-)
Wasn't something posted about neo-Nazis "infiltrating" FR?
Yep.
And you don't know the difference -- in an election year -- between the Left and Libertarians.
Oh you are SO BUSTED.
I thought about that before posting this one:

I decided that since I've got three security doors and two flights of stairs to get into my condo, and both myself and my roommate are always armed to the teeth (live on the edge of the ghetto) that it would be safe enough. VERY, VERY good advice though, and none of my group will be seperate by more than inches, and we're planning on linking arms if things get hairy.
