2. Recommended.

In order to do battle with the beast, we need more people to stand up -- or sit down -- and risk arrest. We need Gandhi-King power.

Be the leaders you were elected to be!

11. Exactly.

I really like and respect what they are doing.

At the same time, we need people who are willing to fill the jails and spend time in them.

8. DHS is out of control. Why is NYPD not protecting these lawmakers? nt

10. WTF.

At least they weren't wearing masks. I assume they identified themselves. Wonder if New York has laws compelling them.

Wonder what kind of probable cause they claimed for the arrest. This is chilling.
