"'I've been arrested four or five times, and let me tell you, the FBI used to be really nice to be arrested by, they were gentle, they would give you your rights... but here there has been a big change in the FBI recently, the last few months, they are Sale Bnet they can't get the Weather people, they are offer $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the Capitol bombers, they are mad that nobody is snitching, On his 98th birthday J. Edgar finally flipped his iid. So of late the FBI has been involved in illegal raids on communes, beatings, and intimidations of people...do you know that a week before Mayday, my phone, Dave Dellinger's phone and the phone of the Mayday Collective in Washington were all cut off! These FBI terror tactics are all part of the Justice Department's vendetta, Why, the Attorney General now even suggests that we got money from foriegn, ugh, Communist, ugh, ugh, countries. Hai! Abbie was also TRaiéted for interfering with a police officer, a felony in Washington, "'The way I interfered with that police officer,' says Abbie, ‘was by running away, getting tackled and getting a broken nose, a siipped disk in my back and a lot of stitches. I was caught in the Georgetown part of Washington and I was beat up by this one really sadistic cop. Most cops in Washington on Mayday were relatively restrained, I just wound up with this really sadistic one, he asks me, aren't there your shades, then he stomped on them, he gave my gas away to somebody, then he beat me up. So after I Szot “patched up by Dr. Spock at RFK stadium I got smuggled out in a garbage can, just like on Hogan's Heroes.,.I split since I wasn't really arrested, right, so I figured what am I doing here, I was arrested here in New York a few days ago. First they charged me with assaulting a police officer but when they saw what shape I was in they changed the charge.' eee ee RE en ee gt A eR A RE ID Ce AE YE Se a ET meme Segoe te
