2. I was out there an hour ago

Cops were trying to keep the protest as small as possible. I saw them wack a female photographer pretty hard -- then she photographed the guy's face and badge.

17. About 2 years ago

Rumsfeld was testifying before a Capitol Hill committee, and Medea and some others unfurled a load of anti-war bannars behind him in the public area and totally disrupted the meeting until they were escorted out. It was brillient. There is a classic photoshopped picture by one of the artists here of that.

She also was on radio against Perle about Iraq once too, good then too.

15. she is a tough and committed person

She disrupted commander snotwad's appearance in Stockton two years ago. The kool aid gulpers in town were aghast.
