What the FBI Doesn't Want You to See at RaiseTheFist.com

by First Amendment Freedom Corps

Wed, Jan 30, 2002 7:56PM

On 1/23 heavily armed FBI, Secret Service, and LAPD SWAT agents raided the home of 18-year-old webmaster Sherman Austin, who maintains the RaiseTheFist.com web site. Computers, web servers, and political literature were all seized under a search warrant, allegedly issued over the web site's "Reclaim Guide." Professor David Touretzky has mirrored the Reclaim Guide in question, which primarily contains advice on how to protest effectively while protecting yourself and others against abusive police. Follow the link to review the guide formerly on RaiseTheFist.com.

This latest blow to the First Amendment comes only a week before NYC protests against the World Economic Forum or WEF.

What did the 18 year old genius have to say? Are you telling us the whole story? Or just more of your slanted bullshit?

I feel like I need to connect this site though a lie detector.

So many deeply held non informed opinions.

I guess being very young might be a half assed excuse for such stupidity.

I don't think I was ever this gulible.

God bless you fools

Who cares has been purging through the website posting gibberish. Are you really that insecure with yourself and that bored that you have the time on your hand to write your non sense. Empower yourself and get a life.

§Who Cares about Who Cares

Hey, Who Cares, I believe that is five words, not four. Remain ignorant, your DNA most likely won't allow any other options for you. There are many other web sites where you can show your low horizon thought processes. And I am quite sure the rightwing is quite proud of you. Break your Prozac in half, buddy, your getting to high of a dose.

Yours truely, George Bush
