Nonviolent Direct Action Problems That May Arise - Even though your action may be legal, the police may cite violations or arrest. Direct actions are primarily defined by their confrontative, public, disruptive and possibly illegal nature. Activists have used direct actions to spur significant social change, such as the occupation of the all-white lunch counters during the sixties, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the anti-Vietnam and Gulf War protests, and the American Indian Movement occupation of Wounded Knee. www.ibiblio.org /netchange/cco/orgaction.html   (970 words)

Talk:Carbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a continuation of the discussion from the Ruger Police Carbine talk page: These short, pistol caliber lever actions are probably the truest ancestor of the Ruger Carbine, and in a sense they were cavalry weapons as well; the traditional cowboy or sheriff would carry a revolver on his belt, and a lever action rifle in the same caliber in a scabbard on his saddle. Later versions were equipped with detatchable stocks, but the barrels remained at 10" for police and military use, the 16" barrel semi-automatic version was later added to make it saleable to civilians after the 1934 machine gun restrictions were inacted. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Carbine   (970 words)

DVD Talk > Reviews > New Police Story Although New Police Story may not be the return to form Jackie Chan fans were hoping for, it's a reasonably diverting action thriller and doesn't embarrass the star too much. Though the title obviously harkens back to them, technically the movie is not a true sequel or even directly related at all to his very successful Police Story series of films from the '80s and early '90s, as Chan plays a completely different character here. Even when the newer movies aren't outright terrible (and let's face it, some of them truly are), they simply don't have the same spark as the best pictures from the peak of his career. www.dvdtalk.com /reviews/read.php?ID=14511   (970 words)

Direct Action Even worse, the actions of a few who provoke the police may result in unforeseen violence and increased criminal charges for the whole group. Direct Action means personal, focused effort on the front lines in the war against the earth. A direct action is the most empowering event imaginable, a rite of passage that fills the participant with pride. www.geocities.com /RainForest/7094/drectact.htm   (1525 words)

DC Indymedia: Conyers Asks Why Demonstrators Handcuffed for 12 Hours Talk about fucking staged, UFPJ and the organizers of that event were cowards and more concerned with their photo-op than actually stopping the war and ending racism/capitalism...Because the government is sooo scared of people who will only take an action if they allow them too. Remember that this is a war started by the Bush administration with the tacit approval of Congress...not by the Park Police, who are just as much a pawn in the whole process as the soldiers who don't want to fight an illegal war. Maybe the police locked up Sheehan first, and released her soonest since they view her as the story not the cause as the story. dc.indymedia.org /newswire/display/130470/index.php   (3216 words)

Live Role-Playing Game FAQ Most live games involve a large number of players (from thirty to several hundred at a time) who walk around and talk with each other, acting out as much of their characters' actions as are allowed within the rules. If you're going to be playing on public land, especially in a city, make sure you have no props that look like real weapons (it doesn't matter that they're not real, it's still an offense if people think they are and get frightened) and let the police know what's going on. It is very important to make sure it is legal for you to play at the site, if it is not your proprty (a nightclub, Students' Union, or whatever) then make sure the owners or managers are aware of what you'll be doing and are happy for you to play on their premises. www.matalics.org /lrp/larp.htm   (176 words)

New Statesman - Scotland waits for July riots After repeated attempts to contact some of the groups involved in the Dissent network, I spoke to a nice man from the London Action Resource Centre. Now he has something else to be angry about: this month, after attending a peaceful demo outside the G7 finance ministers' meeting, he was followed for five hours, across London, by two uniformed police officers. The mainstream Make Poverty History campaign (a coalition of more than 200 charities, trade unions and faith groups) argues that talk of violence may discourage families from attending: "Our record is one of massive public mobilisations that have been completely peaceful." www.newstatesman.com /200502210021   (895 words)

DVD Talk > Reviews > New Police Story Although New Police Story may not be the return to form Jackie Chan fans were hoping for, it's a reasonably diverting action thriller and doesn't embarrass the star too much. Together, the washed-up hero and his too-eager protégé hunt down the murderous bastards, who turn out to be a band of snotty rich teenagers corrupted by the pervasive evils of violent videogames, extreme sports, and a lack of loving attention from mommy and daddy. Chan's drunken act through the first third of the film is too comical and doesn't mesh with the darker aspects of the story, and the big message about how violence in the media affects young minds is both patronizing and naïve. www.dvdtalk.com /reviews/read.php?ID=14511   (895 words)

Buried Alive We often talk, as activists, of the power of nonviolent action to shame oppressors and inspire sympathy with a cause. But we have no way of sharing that knowledge with a frightened public that dispatches the police, like antibodies, to prevent the disease from spreading, so that that vague uncomfortable feeling we give them will quickly go away. Leaderless yet united, we rode through the streets, a temporary embodiment of our democratic ideals, living evidence that that nameless thing inside of us had some validity after all. altbuzz.org /op-ed/critical_mass_ride.htm   (895 words)

The Writing on the Wall Series #24: Warning! Core Breach Is Imminent! Also documented in the report are the actions taken by ACLU affiliates like the New York Civil Liberties Union to monitor the actions of police during the anti-Vietnam War rallies of the 1960s and 70s, when mass arrests were taking place and the civil liberties of peaceful demonstrators were being violated. By the time of his successful and brief action to seize Austria, in which almost no German blood was shed, Hitler was the most beloved and popular leader in the history of his nation. After the military action began, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the nervous British people that giving in to this leader's new first-strike doctrine would bring "peace for our time." Thus Hitler annexed Austria in a lightning move, riding a wave of popular support as leaders so often do in times of war. www.earthrainbownetwork.com /Archives2003/WritingWall24.htm   (10345 words)

UK Indymedia Local paper gets it wrong again Just because Blackbird Leys residents feel that the police do not take enough interest in the estate and that they should increase their patrols does not mean they should have to put up with any kind of police action or method of deployment. Blackbird Leys IWCA responds to the Oxford Mail’s attack on Jane Lacey and the parish council over their protests against the disregard shown by Thames Valley Police towards the feelings of the community. The last edition of the Leys Independent contained a story, ‘Reducing crime, disorder and fear,’ featuring a Blackbird Leys family’s account of police brutality and the apparent indifference of the police to the feelings of the local community in regard to the incident. www.indymedia.org.uk /en/regions/oxford/2003/08/275692.html   (1034 words)

In an emergency press conference addressed by the acting chairman of the Board, Alhaji Abdulazeez Ude and attended by all other directors, the Newswatch said Chief Fawehimi's action was hasty, ill-termed and capable of affecting police investigation into the matter.

State v. Traxler (Memorandum Opinion) There is no requirement in the law that the elemental intent be established by evidence of the manner in which the plate was thrown or the words accompanying the action. She informed him that she had called the police and given them a statement, and that they were looking for him. Near the end of his testimony, Traxler offered this plaint: "I don't know what the definition of angry and mad, cause under pressure fixing cars everyday, I just want to rest, eat and then talk later and then explain everything what happened." www.hawaii.gov /jud/ica23035mop.htm   (1499 words)

Blogging... Walk The Talk A patriotic Chinese strike was organized by the local populace against helping the French ships, and eventually led to the police and ultimately the colonial garrison called out to stop the protests at the points of their rifle bayonets. The first time that French forces saw action in China was in 1860, when they were part of a joint Anglo-French force that occupied Beijing, ending the Second Opium War. In conclusion, I would observe that I know that you agree with me in the opinion that the drill of the Police, and their rifle practice must not be allowed to interefere with the full and diligent discharge of their civil duties in time of peace. www.blogthetalk.com   (4270 words)

Bush Zones Go National Standing amid a sea of pro-Bush signs in a public area, Bursey was commanded by local police to remove himself forthwith to the FSZ half a mile away from the action, even though he was already two football fields from where Bush was to speak. About 150 sign-toting protesters were shunted off to a zone where they could not be seen from the street, and--get ready to spin in your grave, Jimmy Madison--the media were not allowed to talk to them, and protesters were not allowed out of the protest zone to talk to the media. He was told by the Pittsburgh cops to depart to the designated FSZ, a ballpark encased in a chain-link fence a third of a mile from Bush's (and the media's) path. www.thenation.com /docprint.mhtml?i=20040816&s=hightower   (1769 words)

Review: Lethal Weapon 4 Lethal Weapon 4 is one of the summer of 1998's two lonely sequels (the other being Halloween - H20), and delivers just about what's expected from it -- characters who we know and like, the camaraderie we demand, and Richard Donner's obsessive, must-top-anything- I've-ever-done attitude towards action sequences. The plot, which is pretty thin, centers on Riggs and Murtaugh's first case after they have been promoted to captains (due to their propensity for destroying things, the police department couldn't purchase insurance until it got them off the street and behind a desk). With the possible exception of the still-unconfirmed Die Hard 4, Lethal Weapon 4 has been the subject of more (often inaccurate) rumors than any other action movie. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/l/lethal4.html   (843 words)
