Complete Coverage of Zero Recruitment Day WITH Photos
I wanted to respond to the earlier post about this again but was bugged by the huge photos.

I pulled this from the source at Twin Cities IndyMedia

Throughout the morning, recruiters were unable to enter the building. Several potential recruits approached the station and left because it was closed. Around 10:30, 7 Hennepin County Sheriff Department vehicles and a fire truck arrived on the scene, along with several recruiters. After a ten minute huddle, the entire group approached the activists and ordered all present to disperse. A supporter asked if the two medics could stay on site and the commander immediately replied “No.”

Protesters insisted that law enforcement cut through the U-locks, but instead, firefighters sawed through both door handles so that protesters could be charged with both trespassing and 4th degree criminal damage to property (misdemeanors).


My comment: Scumbag Hennepin County Sheriffs!!! Law enforcement refused to cut through the U-locks so there would be additional charges? Those LEO's are worthless.

1. Good, they were trespassing
Those evil sheriffs, doing their jobs and shit...

Protest all you want, but when you deny access to a building, you've gone to far IMO. You've deny people a legal choice. That's not a good thing.

2. Sieg Heil!
I believe "doing their jobs" as a defense went out with Nuremburg.
