This was an extremely-controlled event.
McTrough the MBTA Police Crime Pig (External Investigations Officer) was instructed to remove his mask when he got within 50 feet of the band stand.
They got what they wanted ...a sanitized march devoid of anything but a ghost of King's attitude and experience. I say the movement lives today, and that these guys are very compliant to the system's will, concerned, over all, with their media image and containing little in it's platform beyond advocating voter registration, and playing the Demopublikkkan misdirection game.
With this march, they're playing to the corporate media, something that was only a part of King's campaign. This march and the two rallies, and our roles in it, as comrades as well as outsiders, should be studied carefully. Is it up to the organizers of a rally to determine its tone, and how far should they go to control issues of decorum? Borkie, here's a couple photos of you at the bandstand, with sign. Please post them!
And if you'd like to see the MBTA Crime Pig who was recently interviewed by a CBS news affiliate (They loved his zany dancing!) go to: freemanz.com/fzdc/political/05_10_01/
And look for a web movie including the dancing crime pig, to be posted on indymedia soon!
And, Dear Borkerz, what did Chuck say when he spoke? |
