We are speaking of course, about the propane gas tank used for all the cooking [and the jalapeno peppers DC police claimed to be supplies for manufacturing pepper spray – Ed.]. What this proves is that the police are interested in fanning the flames of hysteria. A few days ago they arrested some people who had lots of chicken wire and pipes in their cars, and accused them of gathering supplies for ‘molotov cocktails.’ Everyone knows that these are the materials for lockdown devices, used nonviolently to block the roads. For a week now the protestors have been shadowed by police and harassed repeatedly.
