Members of Occupy Harrisburg and Occupy Lancaster attempted to shut down the state's redistricting commission public hearing on November 18, 2011 in Harrisburg. The members of the movement claimed the hearing was not fair because only some members of the public were allowed to testify and had to register in advance to do so. They are aired their grievances at being evicted by the city of Harrisburg from their encampment at Riverfront Park.
Manheim was the secondary 'capitol' for a kid weirdo network and the Nazi party, Lititz still had Klan marches a few years ago. The ACLU backed their right to march and so did the courts, and ruled that groups wishing to march in opposition could not do so because they were AGAINST a belief and the Klan parades were FOR a belief. In other words, As I said, our brothers and sisters there are very brave.
To fellow Occupiers in PA; having lived there myself, I admire your courage. That area is so rotten in good old white boy politics the air stinks. The police have more immunity there and wield their power with more secrecy and dishonesty than any place I've been, the courts are filthy and corrupt, and if you don't act like a Stepford Wife (especially if you're female and don't put out) they persecute you from one end of town to the other and list you. God love all of you and keep you safe, and be strong in your convictions, we will prevail.
Yeah PA also has a bunch of nutty hate groups.
There's a white-only bar in Carlisle
Are you serious? What is it called? That deserves a little media attention.
Actually, the eviction occurred at 1PM, our filibuster of the hearing occurred at 12 noon and lasted 40 minutes.
Too cool! Today the Pennsylvania redistricting commission! Tomorrow the world!
