Democratic Convention Update

If you aren't one of the people I informed about this, here's the situation, abridged: My friend Vernon went to the Democratic Convention in October last year to peacefully protest.  It turned out to be an unbelievable, horrible scene.  Police with brass knuckles with spikes arrested several protestors and charged them with multiple felonies!  While Vernon was in jail, he saw a guy ask for more food, only to get pepper sprayed and a bag over his head...which he threw up in. 

Yeah, I know, right?  UC Santa Cruz funded the protestors charged and the UN disapproved of the inhumane tactics used.

But the good news is, after having to move to Minneapolis in October for the court cases, my friend Vernon is now a free man!  

I think the biggest injustice is that the media wasn't alerted of this at all!  Too bad someone didn't have a cell phone camera like on New Year's Eve...
