Seattle LEIU Protester Arrested As Terrorist
A S-IMC coop member reports someone he knows who was arrested at last night's protest of the LEIU has been handed over to the FBI after being targeted from a "terrorist" list.
Several members of the LEIU welcoming committee have been arrested today for tresspassing on private property. Allegedly, the police on the scene advised the suspects that they would be warned and released. However, once the police ran these individuals' names through the police database the FBI were called in as the names came back as possible terrorist suspects. This should be a wake up call to anyone in Seattle, or in the US, if you engage in protests, civil disobedience, or particularly anti-LEIU activities, the government now considers you a potential "terrorist" threat.
As a member of the IMC collective, I have long suspected my name is already on these lists... however, now that my friends have been arrested my suspicions have been confirmed. So be warned, Big Brother is watching.
Anyone with additional information please post it hear, more information will be added as available. Also, please feel free to contact the Seattle IMC with additional information.
