Pigs are coming (laughter). ‘Cause ain't us, we ain't gonna be with ya, we'll be down ; there in Washington; but after that, they're gonna take bail r( away and call conspiracy for telling you all to go down there. We ain't Sam Brown's, so we hope you'll be there. Loads of people, big outrage, make ‘em pay for what they're doing then maybe they won't do it anymore. ‘Cause courts are not abd justice, Lenny Bruce once said in America, in the hall of justice, the justice is in the halls. It ain't about justice, it's about a struggie of power. Power of the people versus power of those in the establishment. And they're losing. They know they're losing.

They ask them if he like under- - stands what hedid and if he thinks it was wrong and everything and if he can do better the next time. And it's done like that. You know? If he don't then they send him up, and he's rehabilitate: Now I ain't just saying that as a word game. I mean they teach ov ev see Wes wv him, and they teachhim the importance of revolutionary - struggie and living in a collective. The good of one is the . good of all. The good of all is the good of one, and it's all - the same. Individuality and coactivity, it's a false dichotomy. \ [oaths PU Te ee Shane? FATS . = ain)
