REPRESSION & ...Broomsticks(?)

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to make the group aware that Lady Liberty made an appearance at a community event that Occupy: The Bronx held on Saturday to defend a community garden that the city had recently bulldozed.  5 people were arrested for peaceably standing on the sidewalk (they were NOT blocking traffic -which was non-existent).  We then marched to the 40th precinct, and had a GA while we waited for them to be released.  Then we marched BACK to the garden and shared

thoughts and the history of the garden & action, then left.

HOWEVER, on our way to the subway, the cops prevented us from leaving and demanded that we give them the rods that controlled the puppet's arms and head because they were potential weapons.  !!!

- Joe
