So when will the LP get off its collective ass and stage a protest 
against this crap?

Protesters with pickets, and video tapes of Federal Troops doing 
downtown Waco re-enactments would effect people a heck of a lot 
more than just bitching about it in the LP org's internal newspaper, 
and issuing another universally ignored press release.

Have we an infoshop in the area? Could we get together some 
hecklers for these A-Team wannabes?
