Shouting and fireworks at Lewes Prison, Sussex

Bakunin | 03.11.2009 21:22 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles

In the early evening of the 2nd November a rabble of anarchists were up at the dirty old prison of Lewes, with some fireworks for the inmates and rage against the prison society.

Waving a skull and crossbones banner, the anarchists made a loud presence outside the main gate.

Shouting slogans like:

"The Passion for Freedom is Stronger than the Prison"

"No Prison, No Border - Fuck Law & Order"

The prisoners heard and saw us, and called back, waving, holding up lighters and shouting into the night sky between us which was broken by the boom-crack of our rockets, which illuminated the darkness. Then a second box blossomed towards the stars and another stray rocket found its way under a car before we dispersed.

This was for all prisoners in struggle, like Elijah Smith, anarchist comrade imprisoned in Lewes right now for anti-militarist sabotage against Israeli war crimes.

What about the rapists, child abusers, would you let them go?
The people in there who robbed elderly people, should they be let go?
The muggers, should they be let off?
Serial killers, free them?

What about the ones who rob the poor working class, breaking into their homes and taking what little they have, they should be let out to do it again?
Men who beat women, let them out?

Go and learn something about anarchist social theory rather than making reactionary demands on the internet.

Here is a link to get you started:

Criticism is deleted?

Pretty lame to delete a comment criticising an action (i.e. my first comment). Is discussion not what the comments section is all about?
