Recently in Oregon a enviromental group held a sit down protest to stop construction of a logging road in a national forest. The police declared it a riot an arrested about 12 people. They also arrested 3 others who were on the sidelines and charged them under an old law that requires bystanders to assist the police during a declared riot. The kicker was that they faced a stiffer penalty for that than if they had been participating in the "riot". John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john
