"Free Speech, Democracy"
- complete text of a sign put up on a roadside fence in Vancouver by university law student Craig Jones. Jones was arrested for doing so by Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who were protecting dictators attending the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) meeting in Vancouver, November 1997 from dissent. He was released without being charged after 14 hours in custody.

What charge was he arrested on? Was it his property? Did he have the land owners permission? He should have put it on a pole on the right of way. I own some land, you go putting a sign on my fence without my permission and I promise you I will press tresspasing charges in an instant, even if I agree with the sentiment. I've had to threaten several DPS officers (Texas state troopers) with this because they like to park their cruiser in the drive outside my fence but still within the property line without asking my permission to do paperwork and eat. They don't do it anymore. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | | We built your fort.
