Police Brutality and Harrassment at Rainbow Gathering in West Virginia

Court to be held June 28, in "Nature Center" in National Forest for Rainbow Gatherers ticketed for "gathering without a permit"

videoFirst Video from Cranberry Site | From wildflowerstew.org:
The news from the site is that there's a lot of harrassment from law enforcement. People are being pushed around and shoved to the ground, a woman (who turned out to be a case of mistaken identity) was tackled and had to have stitches to her leg, video cameras being taken and smashed.

There is a court hearing tomorrow for people who were given tickets when they first started arriving last week. Roads were blockaded and tickets were given to people attempting to enter another site where the gathering had originally been located. It is hoped that the media and anyone else who can will be there to witness and show support at the Nature Center in Cranberry Glade in the Monongahela National Forest near Richwood, West Virginia.)

Unduly First Ever Disorganized Press Conference on June 28 @ 9 AM.

Nope sorry I am drug free, no opiates for me. For all those who didn't get it it is a quote and a reality Religion is the opiate of the masses!
