 Support Gabe Meyers!\n>\n> ** Support Gabe Meyers **\n>\n> On July 8, 2005, 
 28 year-old caretaker Gabe Meyers was arrested at an\n> anti-G8 solidarity 
 protest in San Francisco. He is currently facing\n> three charges: Lynching 
 (the removal of someone from police custody, a\n> felony), rioting (a 
 misdemeanor), and resisting arrest (a  \n> misdemeanor).\n> The government 
 is charging Gabe with lynching himself because, while\n> being choked 
 unconscious by Officer Michael Wolf, he allegedly  \n> cried out\n> “Help 
 me.” [pictured]\n>\n> The prosecution against him is politically 
 motivated – he is the only\n> person with criminal charges from a protest 
 where a SFPD officer was\n> injured. Though Gabe's case is unrelated, the 
 City of SF is  \n> pursuing his\n> charges to exact their misguided 
 retribution for that incident. At the\n> same time, the City is 
 disregarding witness accounts that these  \n> officers\n> drove into the 
 crowd at dangerous speeds.\n>\n> After dozens of postponements and a 
 surprise change of attorneys,  \n> Gabe's\n> trial is coming up this month 
 and he needs the support of our  \n> community!\n> Please attend these 
 hearings – strong public support in the courtroom\n> does more than just 
 show Gabe that we have his back, it also makes a\n> favorable impression on 
 judges and juries.\n>\n> * 9/6/06 9am: Pretrial Hearing *\n>\n> Judge 
 Jackson will hear arguments and rule on a motion to dismiss the\n> lynching 
 change. This is a critical hearing – if Gabe wins on this\n> motion, he 
 only has the two misdemeanors to worry about. Location: 850\n> Bryant, 
 Dept. 29\n>\n> The fight against global capitalist institutions like the G8 
 can  \n> only be\n> won when we get behind those like Gabe who are willing 
 to stand up and\n> put themselves on the line. Don't let the government's 
 war on dissent\n> interrupt our solidarity for Gabe and all those facing\n> 
 politically-motivated prosecutions.\n>\n> For more information, case 
 updates, and how you can help, check\n> indybay.org, email

 solidarity,\n>\n> Midnight Special Law Collective\n
