The peace band stopped playing when asked by the police after a
noise complaint. All proper.<br>

<div><span>Instead of assuming ISP or other law
enforcement officers are uninformed buffoons
completely unfamiliar with Idaho Code, why don't
the protestors (who are clearly there with the
intent to stay until arrested) suck it up and deal
with the consequences of their behavior instead of
threatening lawsuits and destroying public
property (e.g. breaking windows of the jail van).
It seems the protests quickly start veering more
toward 'protesting police officers very presence'
than toward effectively conveying any message
about the tar sands environmental degradation.
Isn't that what protestors are trying to do, raise
awareness of the tar sand project? Voice their
opinion about whether the big oil companies should
be allowed to use public roads to transport this
stuff? Those messages sure get lost in a hurry
when all that's left is a group of people flipping
off the police and screaming about the pigs.<br>

<div><span>As one protestor stated so clearly, the
police provided a multitude of opportunities to
disperse after giving them lots of time to protest
and share their message. So then they must want to
be arrested, yes? It's like poking a hornet's nest
with a stick 500 times and then filing a lawsuit
when you get stung and then complaining that you
have a constitutional right to poke whatever you
want with your stick. Sure... but along with those
rights come the responsibilities of shouldering
the consequences. <br>

Re: [Vision2020] Megaload Monitors Arrested
Saturday for Obstruction<br>
</font><br>
The Idaho State Police may be onto something here,
V-peeps.<br>
<br>
If ANY of you know, or even suspect, anyone who
may have sat in their vehicle . . . while parked .
. . NOT wearing their seat belts . . . contact
local authorities IMMEDIATELY . . . Before this
becomes a criminal epidemic.<br>
<br>
At first these offenders will hide behind the
excuse, "But, officer, we were just parked here.".
The next thing you hear about them is they are
strapped in a gurney . . . with IVs in their arms
. . . praying for a call from the governor.<br>
