DESCRIPTION:At San Francisco's May Day celebration assorted right-wing and neo-Nazi 
 counter-demonstrators - including members of the Bay Area National 
 "Anarchists" (BANA) - a white supremacist group who have attempted to 
 hijack leftist and anarchist aesthetics and rhetoric to push their 
 tribalist, racialist and anti-Semitic agenda - were present on the sidewalk 
 in front of City Hall when the pro-immigration march arrived at Civic 
 Center Plaza.\n\nDemonstrators tried to minimize the Bay Area National 
 Anarchist's (BANA) neo-Nazi presence, trying to both shout them down and 
 block their signs so their hateful rhetoric would neither be seen or 
 heard.\n\nIn the end, two antifascist activists, Dee and Kelsey, were 
 arrested after members of BANA pulled weapons on the antifa and attempted 
 to assault them. Showing their true colors, police rushed in to defend the 
 neo-Nazis and arrest the antifascists.\n\nFellow antifascists and friends 
 were able to raise and front funds in order to post bond for our two 
 comrades, but most of this money was borrowed and must be repaid! We 
 currently need to repay a $2,000 loan as well as begin payments to the bail 
 bondsman for the last $2,000. \n\nThe best way to send donations is via 
 Paypal to paypal@freemfone.org. You can also send well-concealed cash or 
 checks or money orders (please leave the "pay to" section blank) 
 to:\n\nKelsey & Dee Support\n3030b 16th street\nSan Francisco, CA 
 94103\n\nBut in the meantime, we're showing a great film as a benefit for 
 him. It's called "This is England" and it's about a crew of skinhead kids 
 in 1983. \n\nWe're going to ask for donations at the door, whatever you can 
 give. Also, we're pulling together a very impressive raffle so bring your 
 dollar bills. We'll make something yummy to eat too.\n\nand now for the 
 film synopsis:\n\nIt's 1983 and school is out for the summer.\nThis Is 
 England, is the story of those long weeks between terms where life changing 
 events can take place.\n12-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) is an isolated 
 lad growing up in a grim coastal town, whose father has died fighting in 
 the Falklands war.\nOver the course of the summer holiday he finds fresh 
 male role models when those in the local skinhead scene take him in.. With 
 his new friends Shaun discovers a world of parties, first love and the joys 
 of Dr Marten boots.. It's at one of these parties that he meets Combo 
 (Stephen Graham), an older, racist skinhead who has recently got out of 
 prison.\nAs Combo’s gang harass the local ethnic minorities, the course 
 is set for a rite of passage that will hurl Shaun from innocence to 
 experience. \n\n---------------------------------------\n\nFor more info on
