'Anarchist Blogger' finally freed

There has been some really good reporting here on Josh Wolf, the 'anarchist blogger' . He went to prison rather than submit video of an 'anachist rally' to a federal judge in the July '05 G8 clashes in California. I just thought it was worth mentioning to all the previous posters that he has finally been released after spending more time inside than any other journalist.

I have to ask as we are sadly catching up on 'the land of the free' in terms of unfair and political prison sentences.

Please delete this thread or add it to the IMCista one. I did say the IM coverage on Josh was excellent ;-)
Maybe someone should mention Sherman Austin again since his case was fairly similar :

I'm also a former corporate computer person Sarah, and I've been learning from my mistakes too. And if you don't take this as patronising, I think you should go out and have a nice weekend away from the internet. Take some time to talk to real people at parks and pubs and shopping queues, they are all friendlier than they look. And take some time to decide whether you want to join a group of people, and what you could offer that group - in your case probably your computer skills.
And read. I'd recommend Emma Goldmann but any book would do.
And choose a better name, SB sucks, Sarah is a perfectly nice name and noone else is using it here.
Whenever the bastards grind you down again, take a break, splash your face, and come back refreshed. I can see my old self in your posts. The sheer brutality of it all can make us vunerable.
You are not alone. This sounds weak but I mean it - have a nice weekend,
I invested it all, you threw in a dime
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
I ran half marathons, and you ran a mile
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
It's not good enough
You gave up on easter, for your vegan chums
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
You gave up on cigars, and still you smoke like a lum
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
I gave up on my liver, trying to keep up
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
I gave up half of my heart, and you gave a half-hearted shrug
It's not good enough, it's not good enough
