In Baltimore, during an anti-fascist action this morning (at a gathering point for nazis heading off to Washington DC), about 30-40 individuals were arrested. Of those, we have confirmation that 6 are from NEFAC (4 from Boston, 2 from Baltimore), 1 from Claustrophobia, plus an undetermined number of people from Anti-Racist Action. Although it is unclear who is being charged with what, overall the charges are reported to include aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, concealed weapon, and property destruction. All felonies. Once more details are sorted out, we will post information on how people can donate financial contributions towards bail for the arrests. < Secret court rebuffs Ashcroft : Justice Dept. chided on misinformation | Washington, DC: National Alliance Rally a Huge Bust > walking revolution writes on Saturday August 24 2002 @ 03:06PM PDT: [ reply | parent ] why dont you go arrest soem nazi's you fucking pigs! leave our comrades alone!

Also, when the police visited the Progressive Action Center they attempted to match up faces of people present with video footage from this morning. Apparently unsuccessfully. The shit seems to be hitting the fan in Baltimore, with cops looking to come down hard on militant antifas. jt writes on Saturday August 24 2002 @ 06:41PM PDT: [ reply | parent ] The Bloodshed has now been raided twice. It's uncomfirmed, but there are no known arrests. At the Progressive Action Center, the cops arrived and wanted to enter. They did not have a warrant, and were not permitted to enter. They said that they had a video from this morning's altercations at the Baltimore Travel Plaza and wanted to ID people to see if they could match up people at the PAC with faces in the video. Also at the PAC this evening, cops pointed a gun at members from one of the midwest ARA groups (cleveland or columbus?) and detained them for questioning. no known arrests, and they have been released. The press was called, and a member of ARA Columbus and a local Baltimore activist gave interviews to ABC news. The white power show is still going forward tonight at a National Guard Armory. Eastern Hammerskins are providing security. Any organized ARA response to the show is unkown. Of the individuals arrested this morning, no one has been charged with anything as of yet, even though many rumors are flying around. Still 6 confirmed from NEFAC, 1 from Claustro. Again, a plea for legal support -- I will be sending cash tomorrow around noon and any financial help would be great. If anyone from other cities would like to send money on your own, contact me directly and i can tell you who to send the $ to. jt http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=02/08/24/0266383
