Important Update on the RNC 8 Case

It is with great disappointment that we share the news that our co-defendant, Erik Oseland, has decided to take a plea agreement as early as Monday, August 23rd. He has informed us that he will plead guilty to one count of gross misdemeanor conspiracy to commit riot, which is riot "without a dangerous weapon," a charge which bears a maximum 1-year sentence. We will send out the exact date and time of the hearing as soon as we know it, for those who wish to attend.

Chicago Police Lock Conspiracy Tour Out!

Chicago Police said that the Conspiracy Tour "came on their radar" and demanded that DePaul Law School hire private security to "keep us contained" during our puppet show and presentation. The school agreed, and was going to charge us for the privilege of our own repression!

We say no thanks to that--we're here to argue that people should not let the state contain them, no matter how much repression they try to unleash on us. And that is why we have the state running scared.

Cronk's Having Problems, Feds Harassing David Pellow and National Day of Solidarity for Scott DeMuth

Assistant U.S. Attorney Clifford R. Cronk III seems to be having some problems. Back on June 14, Judge Thomas J. Shields ordered him to provide the evidence from the second superseding indictment against Scott DeMuth that he hadn’t already coughed up. Shields also ordered him to provide a number of particulars about the indictment, including exactly what Scott is alleged to have done that is illegal, whom he is alleged to have done it with, and when he is alleged to have done it. You know, basics like that. Cronk had until June 21 to hand over that info.
