DESCRIPTION:September 28 Rob Los Ricos @ the info shop\nRob Los Ricos a Chicano 
 Anarchist\nThaxton, a Chicano anarchist, was arrested for hitting an 
 officer on his shoulder with a rock during\nthe June 18, 1999 Reclaim the 
 Streets demonstration (which came to be a police riot) in Eugene, Oregon. 
 Of the twenty-one people arrested in connection with the June 18 protest, 
 Thaxton received the stiffest charges: Assault II, Riot and Attempted 
 Assault I. An Attempted Murder charge was briefly brought forth and then 
 dropped.\n\nRob Thaxton, AKA Rob los Ricos, was released from the Oregon 
 State Correctional Facility on June 29 after serving seven years.\n\nMore 
 on Rob Los Ricos\n\nWhen the revolution Rob had prepared himself for 
 didn’t happen in the 70s, he drifted into activism in the 80s in Dallas, 
 TX, and was involved in ACT-UP and CISPES, as well as KNON-FM community 
 radio station, where he was eventually elevated to program director. Rob 
 left for Austin and attended his first Group of 8 (G8) protest in Houston 
 in the summer of 1991. While in Austin, Rob got involved with EF! Austin 
 and the Black Banner Brigade. The Gulf War erupted shortly and the 
 anarchists became the most militant and spectacular faction of the Austin 
 anti-war effort. The media silence over the opposition to the war and the 
 ineffectiveness of the protests led Rob to believe that protests-as-usual 
 were a waste of time. He then turned his energy towards developing networks 
 and gatherings of anarchists in Texas which resulted in two statewide 
 gatherings in Austin (’92 to ‘93) and also an anarchist presence at the 
 Republican National Convention in Houston (1992).\n\nFor more information
