Danny Glover Arrested In A Protest

[DearAbby]

GAITHERSBURG, Md.- Actor Danny Glover and 11 others have been arrested during a labor union protest at the Maryland headquarters of a food service company.

Montgomery County police spokesman Capt. Paul Starks says Glover and others stepped past yellow police tape and were asked to step back three times at Sodexo headquarters. When they refused, Starks says officers arrested them.

The dozen were issued citations for trespassing and let go. Starks says they face a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail.

Starks says organizers told police beforehand that some would risk arrest.

The Service Employees International Union was protesting what it calls Sodexo's unfair and illegal treatment of workers. Sodexo says the union was spreading misinformation.

A publicist for the "Lethal Weapon" actor declined to comment.

2. Yes I am sure that was money well spent for Glover

He will most. Likely pay the fines for the other dozen or so arrested. He has done that in the past if I am not mistaken.

5. Support for Glover

There's something growing.

It's small, but the roots go deep, and the genetic program is already written.

There's too much anger coming from both ends of the political spectrum; too much blatant corruption paying no regard to that anger. The Status Quo should fear the day those opposing sides discover their common ground. They do have common ground. And they will find it. Chomsky has already pointed out what it is--a shared belief that the government no longer represents the people.

6. Sodexo provides food service to the CIA
