We took car loads of food down the the city jail to help feed some of the folks who stayed and shouted the longest.

We are still protesting in Seattle often and since WTO there have not been many incidences of police brutality.

WTO PHOTOS. Really scary!

They used chemical weapons against our own people.

The whole downtown area area was gassed. The old folks who live in low income housing at the market were made very sick by it. They did not care who was in their way. Innocent people leaving work, pregnant ladies were knocked down.

In what Time magazine called "The Battle of Seattle," news photographers were caught in the cross fire between police and protesters at the recent World Trade Organization summit.

For many of those trying to capture the protests on film, the specter of rubber bullets and gas grenades whizzing toward them seemed more surreal than sinister. Despite the fact that one photographer was shot in the face, several were struck by riot clubs, and almost all choked on tear gas or were hosed with pepper spray, those interviewed were amazed things didn’t turn out worse.
