    I heard there were people arrested from an anarchist group ... I thought about Anok, lol.

    I did see where they rounded up a bunch of people ... not sure if she was targeted tho.

      oh dear, I thought I was the only one who thought of Anok.

      Good to see she is free!

    There have been a lot of arrests going on lately.

    It might be time to get a babysitter and some bail money - this is gonna be an ugly election year.

    (PS thanks for thinking of me!)

      Seriously, I saw the news coverage and heard "anarchists arrested" and payed attention! Saw a few people with balaclavas on! lol

      Yes, Anok, I thought, perhaps, maybe, what if Anok...
      ...is protesting at the RNC with the other anarchists?


      ...were you?

      I was not, unfortunately. I would have liked to be at both/either convention but I couldn't because of family and financial constraints.

      I did get to watch a bunch of Anarchists completely confuse a Fox news reporter, though

    They haven't built a secret prison camp that can hold the Anokster yet!

      Hey, there is a practical reason for the black garb and balaclava

    Oh, this is gonna be good! As if the drama of the past few days hadn't been enough already. Gotta catch Democracy Now tomorrow.

    Wonder what youtube are up to over 400 comments but only 216 views. It seems the guy who says that youtube has stopped the count and is deleting comments is right. Now why would they do that?

    Police with night sticks and guns. What a great image for the bastion of democracy to send to the world.

      It's up to 574 comments now. Comments are reflective of view though, people debate on there like they do here, only with character limits
    2. Anok
      The views just jumped to 60,376 and the comments to 977

    At the risk of being shameless, I just posted a wee little bit about this whole drama thing, you know, protests, riots, a little reaction to Laura Ingraham and the Washington post article on it.

    GO! (Be offended while you're at it, 'coz i"m sure it'll offend someone - er- probably everyone but what the hell, this post is what a day of political discourse with my family generates )
