Outrage in Ohio: Angry residents storm State House in response to massive voter suppression and corruption

by David Solnit


05 Nov 2004
November 3 - Toledo, Ohio Hundreds of angry Ohio residents marched through the streets of Columbus—Ohio’s Capital—this evening and stormed the Ohio State House, defying orders and arrest threats from Ohio State Troopers. "O-H-I-O ! suppressed democracy has got to go,"they chanted. After troopers pushed and scuffled with people, nearly a hundred people took over the steps and entrance to the State’s giant white column capital building and refused repeated orders to disperse or face arrest. People prepared for arrests, ready to face jail—writing lawyers phone numbers on their arms, signing jail support lists and discussing non-cooperation and active resistance (linking arms, but not fighting back).

It`s so sad that no one will know about it unless Clinton is there having sex.

6. It's not a matter of the numbers ...

There's an unofficial (or official) federal ban on reporting on the stolen election. (at least on TV). See THIS THREAD.
