PROTEST ZONES by Jenn Green If Bush Wins--or Steals--This Election, Don't Just Sit There
If Bush gets reelected on November 2--if half of our fellow citizens lose their minds, or if he manages to steal the election again--storming Seattle's federal offices, prisons, and property will let him know that we're not going down without a fight this time. Here's a list of federal sites in Seattle that could be perfect places to protest:
JACKSON FEDERAL BUILDING--915 Second Ave. The Jackson Federal Building, which houses everything from the Office of Civil Rights (ironic, no?) to the U.S. Government bookstore, was the site of an unsuccessful antiwar protest in March, 2003. The key to demonstrating at the Federal Building is organization: Agree on the terms of the march, and do everything in your power to avoid jaywalking in front of the building (the police really hate that). If things get out of control, seek refuge in the office of Senator Patty Murray (she doesn't really like W. either).
INS DETENTION CENTER--815 Airport Way. The 150 detainees at Seattle's INS Detention Center would no doubt be cheered by the sounds of protesters gathering outside the walls. The thought of another four years of Bush as president and the joys that go along with that--being jailed with no evidence of terrorist activity, all in the name of "preserving liberty" through the PATRIOT Act--probably depresses them too.
BALLARD LOCKS--3015 NW 54th St. As long as you're not brown-skinned and carrying a camera, you won't, like one unfortunate Seatle resident, attract the attention of Tom Ridge's Dept. of Homeland Security by marching on the Ballard Locks. We don't know why you would want to march on the locks but, hey, the fish ladder is cool and there's a big hill you can roll down. And there's a lot of parking, unlike at the Federal Building downtown.
That takes care of Seattle. But if we wind up with another 2000-style deadlock--if election results are contested in Ohio or Florida, or if Republicans try to stop people from voting in any state--that's where the real action will be. Protestors with guts should head to those states to make their voices heard. And if Bush manages to steal the election, then we'll see you in D.C. in January. Bring some eggs.
Tear gas first. Batons second. Busses third. Ambulances fourth, for those inconveniently injured. Just like the good old days.
I have a feeling election night is going to be very ugly, all over the country.
Cindy, would this be to see which brand of soap is best at removing scum?
Darn, I have to work until 5:00 downtown on Tuesday. I guess I'd better arrange for alternate transportation in case the buses don't run.
The Metropolitan Grill serves a great baked potato soup on Wednesdays - check it out!
How about pepper extract?
They usually only burn down their own neighborhoods. Burn Baby Burn!!
Does conspiracy to commit a crime not itself rise to the level of being a crime? These sound like spefic plans to commit unlawful acts.
the Mariners lost almost 100 games, the Seahawks have lost 3 in a row, the the Huskies.....peeUUUUU...............
My Ruger P95 will sit on my endtable. Texas doesn't have any decent riots. Damn.
While the FBI continues to encourage the public to submit information regarding the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, this form may also be used to report any suspected criminal activity to the FBI.
MR. CLEAN! MR. CLEAN! :')
Hmmm... seek refuge within the offices of Senator Patty Murphy... yeah right... hang out with the spawnness of satan for awhile. Maybe she will teach you more devious tricks. Thats a great plan...NOT.
That will work:')
living in seattle is extremely painful. i had a BC04 placard in my car window and when i went on a 3 week biz trip, the asshats in my condo complex had my car towed because i violated the 72 hr parking ordinance which states that a parked car that is in one spot longer than 72 hrs is subject to being towed. i know that it's because i had the BC04 placard displayed. everyone else here (in my complex) is a sKerry supporter. ugh.
Just wave a bar of soap in front of these lowlifes and they'll recoil like vampires confronted with a crucifix!
Interesting that last week they threaten to RIOT and now they are calling this a Protest. Humm? weassle away!
You don't actually wanna kill them, do ya?
From the post: "Attract the attention of Tom Ridge's Dept. of Homeland Security - "
This sounds like a good idea - anyone?
I do hope our forces are ready for any antics the Socialist Democrats pull -
in my opinion -
May need to be armed to protect yourselves from these mad-dog alquaeda infestations there in the northwest.
