More on Chicago counter-recruiting

Several of us started bannering and leafleting at the Taste at noon, fairly near where the army had their recruitment tent and equipment set up. After about an hour the police, including Commander Keating, insisted that we stop our bannering and leafleting there and that we either move to where we were on Jackson and the Petrillo Music Shell entrance when we were at Blues Fest or we would be escorted out of the park.

We tried for a long while to contact various lawyers. And we also tried to vigil using the slogans on our t-shirts and hats, etc. and calling out to passersby, with a bit of success. But we decided after an hour or so to go over to the Jackson spot, on the curb for bannering and leafleting. I had to leave at 3.
