6.14.12 Update:
Major corporations have distanced themselves since from ALEC. House Representative Kinkaid, involved in the altercation with Lisa Law, the seventy-some year old photographer, did not win his re-election, but he is still getting sued by Lisa, for the rough shot handling she had to endure by him.

  1. I support NON-VIOLENT protest only. Here is a report that claims violence from the protesters:

    While from the protesters side the same was expressed and a possible lawsuit will be considered for rough handling of by-standing press.

  4. Yes, Friko, this is about injustice and corruption and not about a violent fringe extremist group as some of the media would like to spin things.
