November 11, 2007 Demonstration against Pruitt's Home Furnishings
This past Saturday, the protesters again showed to continue their boycott against Pruitt's Home Furnishings due to police repression. This time, Pruitt's got a permit to close the sidewalks for landscaping. The demonstrators held their protest across the street. They were also allowed to march on the sidewalk, but not stand still on it. Minutemen, Rusty Childress, Stacey O'Connell, and others swept the sidewalks and pretended to do work. Some stood and sat around and simply waved american flags.
The demonstrators hired another set of great musicians to be part of the protest. The marches are without incident other than the harassment of some of the Pruitt's supporters.
One latino man got a ticket apparently for jay-walking even though others had jay-walked as well. Nothing was done about a Pruitt's supporter on a motorcycle with an american flag who went about a mile per hour down the street by the protesters, slowing and stopping traffic for a short time. Additionally, nothing was done about a black SUV that pulled into the Pruitt's parking lot while the march was going through, almost hitting marchers, including a child.
The permit for closing the sidewalk is apparently for 9-3 for last Saturday and future Saturdays for an unknown amount of time. I supposed until those slowpokes finish their work.
