I saw this; thank you for posting it.
I think the sentence was less for the protest that the plaintiff's dismissal of the judge's authority; that kind of thing really enrages the patron. :thefinger:
I will have to pull out some juicy tidbits from my copy of James Douglass' "Resistance and Contemplation" and send them on to the prisoners, along with other things I haven't thought of yet.
This is, of course, outrageous, and is straight out of Derrick Jensen's book "Welcome to the Machine" and his beautiful discussion of the power of the state to do violence and the powerlessness of the person to do anything about it, beautifully rebutted however by Douglass' book, Lord's poster, and countless expressions of civil disobedience.
I am guessing that the best thing I could do would be to attend the next vigil.
