Good to learn that the protest at Smash Edo got well into starting transformation.
This is an important and paradigm shift, a step nearer in this campaign - moving from protest to proactive resistance of warmongering.
Excellent to see the changes to those tools for destruction (ie the computers, equipment etc) - its like art work, art work I say, its not being a bystander on the verge. They are just creative brave people like any of us can be. Lets hope that the current solidarity is not now hi-jacked with further abuse of police/workers polarising the work done well.
Lets also give some space and allow for the workers there to yet become whistle blowers, or come back across the line of being complicit workers and join in the transformation of weaponry - pick up your hammers and continue the work from the shop floor and the office. Well done all involved in this nonviolent creative act.
Nonviolent communication at its best - saying to the arms industry decommission or we will.
Hope that protest doesnt taint the message - excellent stuff.
