The civil phase of the Don Adams case is about to begin. I include it here primarily for permanent public archival purposes, although it is of interest to FreeRepublic for several reasons. First and foremost, people on FreeRepublic have taken an active interest in the Don Adams case since the night it happened. Second, the events at Philadelphia's City Hall on the afternoon and evening of October 2, 1998 led directly to the October 31, 1998 FreeRepublic March for Justice, which (combined with the commencement of weekly protests at the White house by the Washington, DC chapter) marked the beginning of mass activism by FreeRepublic, and exerted an influence on the impeachment process. And finally, among the mere three dozen anti-Clinton protesters who faced down the Teamsters that day were five then-members of FreeRepublic (of whom I was the only one attacked, thankfully). Teri Adams, who was beaten in defense of her brother Don, subsequently became a member of FreeRepublic.
I have been supboenaed by the attorneys representing Teamsters Local 115. I will be deposed on Thursday. I will post my subpoena shortly.
