Dangerous Sticks
Jeff Cook of Associated Press via Nando Times - a pictorial essay. Davenport, Iowa police stole flags from protesters near a house where Dick Cheney was making a fund-raising appearance. Why? The little wooden sticks supporting the flags could be used as weapons. I encountered the same absurd mindset at the Million Marijuana March in New York City. They stole the 1x3 pine boards I used to support my sign. The screwdriver in my backpack, a much more dangerous weapon, remained in my possession.
