How can we help for realz, by doing more than just linking??

[theinated]

I don't know. I need information. I don't know enough about the legal system here to act with effectiveness on behalf of my friends, and besides which I am stuck out of town until Friday night. Anything you or anyone else could post here would be useful.

All we know is they are in Pacific Station Jail with bail set at 20K for, get this, "blocking traffic"? Unfortunately this is all secondhand information. Argh.

[maggiedacatt]

How is blocking traffic an offense that merits a 20K bond??

Will link. This sucks.

And the crazy ass thing? When they were shoved by police and beaten by them, they were already on the sidewalk, WALKING AWAY from the police. Why weren't the ones still in the streets arrested? Were they just easier to attack because they were on the sidewalk behind a bus?

This has to be stopped!

Holy shit, Ben. I'm so sorry.

You don't know me, but I'm linking. I have friends out that way. I don't know if they can or will do anything but who knows. If nothing else we have candle lit.
