hello everyone. i dont live anywhere near san fransisco, i live in miami florida. we have a critical mass here that just started up pretty recently (i have yet to attend one but i plan on attending on the 30th)
anyways, i am going to san fransisco for a week in june for the biodevastation protest on the 8th. im sure most, if not all, of you will be there. i have no idea what to expect, as ive never been to sf before. i was at the ftaa protest over here in miami and that was my first taste of a real protest. i wont go into the gross abuses of power on the part of the police and the civil liberties that were infringed upon that day as im sure most of you read about or even witnessed them yourself. i hear that protests in sf are handled decently by the cops and that i shouldnt worry about "the miami model of homeland security" coming to sf, but im not sure if i trust my sources. either way ill be in the streets, but i was just hoping an sf native could enlighten me on the subject so i sort of know what to expect.
also, since i live in miami, it was pretty easy for me to find out about events preceeding and leading up to the protest. im a little nervous that that wont be the case in sf, and that i might miss out on some great event or other. i know this tribe is about critical mass so maybe this isnt the proper place to discuss this topic (or maybe it is?) i was looking for a tribe on this subject but i couldnt find one. (maybe ill start one and let everyone know). anyways, if anyone has anything to respond to this, you can post it here or if you want send it to me personally. the_after_hours@msn.com
much love.
