People like Chris will quickly turn over and snitch when faced with jail time. Their tactics worked in this case and undoubtedly they will try it again against more and more anarchists, including friends in NYC facing Grand Jury harrasment at this moment. Thanks a lot Chris!<br /><br />And fuck yes we should condemn this coward when as we speak people, like Carrie Feldman, sit in jail and do their time honorably for resisting grand juries and sticking up for their friends and comrades. Meanwhile this bastard still weasels his way around anarchist scenes in Pittsburgh.

"Oh well, how about you do it!" Hopefully no more anarchists get called for grand juries, but we can only speculate and provide an editorial opinion and analysis. This is not a condemnation but a warning, reflection and opinion of one publication.<br /><br />Get over yourself and your pedestals, kthnxbiSnitchWirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947493565179986866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137723587665239204.post-48154560068457426882010-01-13T01:21:29.984-07:002010-01-13T01:21:29.984-07:00It's pretty easy to condemn someone for minima...It's pretty easy to condemn someone for minimally cooperating with the law without considering their statement when you're not facing jail time, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137723587665239204.post-26361408837906277562010-01-12T21:17:47.638-07:002010-01-12T21:17:47.638-07:00Im hyped that people in pittsburgh aren't just...Im hyped that people in pittsburgh aren't just lettign him get away with that.<br /><br />nice work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
