[Seattle-editorial] Time sensitive Below is an article I have action by IndyMedia.

[anarch3m]

And a right fine controversy online indeed.  Did you mean to encourage the confrontation at the McCaw home?

And in another vein, I wonder, now that the KVI crowd has rallied, and has obtained a permit for the 8 & B'vue Way location, just how that one will come down.  Personally ilized on Friday.  I hope the event is as family friendly as was intended.
