Veterans vigil and arrests

 
APD waited until after midnight to arrest these three veterans, so that they would not be arresting Veterans on Veterans Day.  They arrested these veterans for staying at Pack Square past the curfew.  They were charged with second degree trespass and released.   


Earlier in the evening, there was a vigil and a reading of the names of US military who were killed in our wars on Iraq and Afghanistan.

 The suspects are Kenyon Canoll McClellan, 72, of Wezeltown Road, Old Fort; Jonathan Scott Geler, 25, of Buchanan Road, Asheville; and Kindra Ajanemi Phillips, 41, of Grandview Road, Asheville.

Twenty-eight Occupy Asheville participants were arrested and charged with minor offenses following vigils at the Vance Monument on Nov. 2 and 5.
There were 24 arrested (or cited) on November 2, 2011 after a vigil for Scott Owen.  Four more were arrested on November 5, 2001.  In October, there were eight arrested for the same offense outside of City Hall.  Total arrested for staying in the park after curfew:  39.  And more to come!

Photos came from Kindra Phillips' Facebook page.

HERE'S AN IDEA:

Let's arrest the people who started these hideous wars that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocents and ruined the lives of millions of innocent people around the world.

Let's arrest the people who brag about torture or drone bombings on our TVs.

Let's arrest the people who crashed our economy with their liar's loans and their MBS that were pieces of shit that they sold WHILE they bet against them.

Let's arrest the people who have polluted our Gulf waters, who are destroying our ground waters with fracking, who are polluting our air with burning coal, who are stopping the government's investment in clean energy while they promote our government's total subsidy of forever poisonous nuclear power.

Let's arrest the child abusers out there, the people who have made the income discrepancy so extreme, the people who promote corporate welfare while they want to see their neighbor's children go without. Let's figure out why our country is so damn violent, and arrest the people who are the cause of that.

Let's tell the idiot who suggested putting a rope around someone's neck to STFU and go back to kindergarten and learn something about MORALS.
