SUPPORT THE RESISTANCE http://www.wearechange.org/?page_id=9453

Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change gives an update of his encounters with the police and national guard at the Friday night g20 protest that took place at the University of Pittsburgh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping us raise money for our legal defense fund. Every little bit helps tremendously as we take on the greatest injustice. They can beat us with batons, tear gas, arrest and use all sorts of weapons on us but out continuation to fight for humanity will never stop!

Although the fight is still not over, other WeAreChange members like Danny (nyc), Sam (Ohio) and Phil (Philly) who were also arrested and released from the detention center, will have to go to court. The legal defense funds will go towards them getting a good lawyer and making sure they are taken care of. The money left from the fines and lawyer fees for everyone, will go towards launching a lawsuit. We are not backing down from this fight and have never forgotten our promise to you that we will fight to the very end.

Lee and myself were advised by our lawyer, that the best thing we could have done is taken a plea deal that was equivalent of having a parking ticket. We decided to do so in order to pick our battles wisely and continue our efforts uninterrupted. I would rather pay a parking ticket then waste tremendous amounts of time and energy going back and fourth to Pittsburgh which is an 8hr drive. There are many important things and projects in the works in NYC and I hope everyone understands.

Thank you,
Luke Rudkowski

  • We need to do what Egypt is doing right now and fight our government because if we don't, we'll be slaves FOREVER!

  • @1213jaclyn Firstly I am not sabotaging anyone...I am simply just putting my views across. Lets get something straight; I do not enjoy violence! I wish there was a chance the people could sort out this without violence and if you have any ideas I would love to hear them...unfortunately it is unlikely! Violent people must meet a violent end. It is unbelievable to think that these vultures would change their mind after a cup of coffee and a friendly conversation!

  • "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson

    I'm locked and loaded, and I ain't no tyrant!!!

  • You mentioned the guard, but in all your statements of abuse, you never mention the guard abusing you. My wife and best friends are in the guard. Leave the guard out of it, and blame the cops only. You are piggybacking guard for what copa did. Don't.

  • @MistaRavimShack fuck you!!! you dumb piece of shit, wth is wrong with u, can you not see that the actions of those officers wer totally fucked up???

  • hell yeah for peacefully assembly.... dumb ass

  • THIS is what a police state looks like!

  • The Gestapo is alive and operating in Pittsburg. Fuck the police!!!!!!

  • USA................POLICE STATE !!!!!!

  • The comments on this page make me quite sad. It takes a lot more balls to stand up non-violently and say no when you're standing up against people with guns than it ever will to buy your own gun and fire back. Violence is a great many things, but it will never be the only way to fight back and will never be the most effective way. Nonviolence has overthrown dictators far worse than those ruling the United States at far less deaths that violent revolutions across the board.

  • Lawyer work for the same company, THE USA. You will not win. I wish you luck but honestly I feel very sorry for you. Fire your de facto government. MAKE A CLAIM!!!!!
