[Downtown Hound]

in San Francisco during the run up to the Iraq War. There was no property destruction but it did turn into quite a boisterous time with the police chsing a crowd of 500 of us up and down Market Street. Video here:

I was arrested blockading the financial district of San Francisco during the Day X (the weekend the Iraq war broke out) protests. No video available.

I was arrested again blockading an intersection outside of San Francisco's state supreme court when they upheld Prop 8 two years ago. Video here:

I personally have taken a vow of non-violence (which includes not destroying property), but I do not condemn those that engage in property destruction or vandalism of corporate property (the black bloc, ELF, ALF). I do draw the line at pyhsically harming human beings though. I have and will engage in civil disobedience again.

I could care less what government stooges or law enforcement personnel read this, I'm quite open about my belifs and am willing to spend time in jail for them.
