An update on Rev. Lennox Yearwood’s Arrest
September 12, 2007
Things like this make it hard to convince young & marginalized people to get involved in the political process when they disagree with the establishment. Sadly, this is exactly the goal of Republicans these days.
One Love. One II.
Update & Clarification: Rev. Yearwood’s leg is not broken. The police said that yesterday, but after people were actually able to speak to the Reverend, it was made clear that he instead has severe damage to ligaments in his ankles and is on crutches.

Got something to say?
[...] What is so sinister about the demonizing of dissenting voices is precisely what the Yearwood calls out here: if they make examples of a couple of "unfriendly" visitors, others who share their views will be less likely to speak up or act.

It is totally rediculous to take dow an dabuse a reverend just because he is voicing an opinion an dusing his free speech rights to say he doesn’t approve of war. That’s whats wrong with our country anymore. The Republicans are trying to turn Americ ainto a facist dictatorship where what is right is only their way, or none at all. This country reminds me of Nazi Germany under Hitler nowadays.
