Let's wait to see what the defendants have to say at their arraignment. If a "not guilty" plea comes from any one of their mouths, I will have lost a lot of faith in them and their dedication to their cause.

In my opinion, a true activist does not back down to intimidation or threats. If that were the case, where would we be without the courage of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Aung San Syu Kyi et al? They all took stands, received punishments and carried on. Let's hope these kids do the same. They are all young, and have a lot to learn.

As for them doing it again, let's hope they or anyone else, comes up with an idea that will make people think, not just make them angry. I honestly believe that the 6 had good intentions, but their act did not have the effect that they intended.

Well, if the charge is criminal defacement, a felony, they'd be right to plea "not guilty".

Obviously this act didn't end up how it was intended to. Regardless, it stirred up discussion in the activist/anti-war movement, and that's what we needed. Thank you Ephran, Ryne, Mercedes, Donte, Angela, and Regan!

Yes it did stir up discussion WITHIN the movement, but has not earned any new movement members, and in fact has alienated some of those on the fence. That is nothing for which to be thankful.
