arrests

Emmanuel Goldstein, from 2600 was one of the many arrested during the RNC protests this week.

<p>apparently, he was arrested for trying to film one of the protests. </p>

<p>i have nothing to say really except that i&#8217;m currently reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0375422307/">Persepolis</a>, which is the story of a girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. she recalls people being arrested for the crime of simply taking pictures of the protests that led up to the revolution. </p>

<p>something is really wrong with a government when simply documenting real events becomes a crime.</p>
