Spring Protests: 6/5 Group's Charges Dismissed

The 100 spring peace protesters scheduled for hearing on 6/.5/03 had their charges dismissed because there was no police report, according to KPFA, 94.1 FM, 6 p.m. news, 6/5/03.

District Attorney Terence Hallinan is wasting our tax dollars for not dropping the charges himself. He needs the votes of the peace community to get elected in this 3-way race of Democrats. If the thinks playing to the warmongers is going to win votes, he clearly not only does not think at all but he deserves to be booted out of office.

This writer does not vote for Democrats or Republicans, but it is worth noting the latest insult and waste by the current Democrat in the DA's office, as well as the victory of our peace movement.

Personally, I will be happy to see Hallinan defeated, not only for this outrageous prosecution of peaceniks but also for the vicious prosecution of "AIDS" whistleblowers, Michael Petrelis and David Pasquerilli, whom Hallinan originally wanted to prosecute as terrorists, showing that there is not a dime's worth of difference between Democrats & Republicans. There was such an outcry from the progressive community that Hallinan had to drop that stupidity, but he is still going after them for making nuisance phone calls. It would be good to see both Hallinan and election-frauding Willie Brown,whom Hallinan never prosecuted, finish their political careers this year, together. Good riddance to both of them.
