I cite the following cases: Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Assata Shakur, Sundiata Acoli, all of the MOVE 9, Ruchelle Magee, Jeff Luers, Mutulu Shakur, Russell Maroon Shoatz, Sara Jane Olson, David Gilbert, Kathy Boudin, and Eric McDavid. And that's just the first 21 that I could think of. Perhaps it is correct to say there is little precedent for people engaged in this type of demonstration to have felony charges stick, but that is a different statement entirely. Anyhow, thank you for the wonderful work you've been doing. All power to the people.
