One arrested at anti-PLAL demonstration
Jail support ongoing for man arrested for defending himself against PLAL.
The Pro-Life Action League is been holding a "Face the Truth" tour in chicago this week. Pro-choicers have been coming out to counter their propaganda.
Around 4:30 today, at franklin and wacker, a pro-choice man was arrested. Apparently he didn't come out for the demo. Reportedly, he was walking down the street and started arguing with the anti-choicers. He tried to walk away, and was grabbed by an anti-choicer. He then knocked the man's sign away, and it fell into the street. The anti-choicers ran to the cops, and claimed that he had assaulted them.
He will most likely be charged with a misdemeanor, and released on an I-bond, according to the cops. He is being held at 17th and state, where jail support will go on until he is released.
His name is not known.
Please come out and do jail support!
