Great news about my West Point DADT protest arrest!
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 06:31 AM by haruka3_2000
I won't be going to court today!!! Woohoo!

It's been reduced from a federal misdemeanor of "entering a military installation for an unlawful purpose" ($500 and up to 6 months jail time) to a non-criminal tresspassing violation. The fine is $125, which Soulforce is covering. I'm soooo happy and relieved.

5. Yeah, it's always a goal of mine.
Of course, I will have one, maybe two arrests coming up, so who knows? :shrug:

13. Yeah, that's what I meant
I was envisioning you walking out through a big hole you'd kicked in the wall and casually dusting yourself off. :7

In 1.5-2 months, they'll be another post like, "I got arrested protesting DADT again."
