Illegally Arrested
We were put in a paddy wagon,
along with about ten others.
Looking out the barred windows as
we zoomed through the streets, it
seemed like traffic everywhere was
backed up. Since that is a normal
state for rush-hour Washington, it is
hard to say how much effect the
disruption tactics had.
We were unloaded at a police
checkpoint. Helmets and gasmasks
were confiscated; when one
prisoner had his jew's harp taken,
another prisoner said, "Ask him for
a receipt." With a horrible, a
policeman grabbed the second
prisoner by the hair and forced him
on a bus.
There wasn't room on the bus
for all, so we were loaded into the
paddy wagon; designed for ten,
there were twenty in it.
