RNC Aftermath: Sentencing David McKay and Spinning the Media

After his first federal trial ended in a hung jury, Texan David McKay pled guilty in a second trial rather than letting his friend from Austin and co-defendant, Bradley Crowder, be manipulated into testifying against him. The FBI and local prosecutors have been counting on the press and public's RNC fatigue to be able to continue to present a clearly exaggerated, domestic security threat—a facade which nearly collapsed at McKay's first trial. Today, he was sentenced to four years in jail.   more

RNC policing: Nigel Parry on KFAI tonight with Coleen Rowley and Melissa Hill

Nigel Parry will be appearing on KFAI's "Dart Gun Radio" show at midnight tonight (Tuesday April 7th) with Coleen Rowley and Melissa Hill, to talk about policing and the RNC. In May 2002, FBI Agent Coleen Rowley brought some of the pre 9-11 lapses to light and testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee about some of the endemic problems facing the FBI and the intelligence community. Rowley was one of three whistleblowers chosen as persons of the year by TIME magazine. Melissa Hill is a former Oregonian and current Minneapolis resident and grassroots activist. After being mass-arrested and seeing the police state in full force during the RNC, she became involved with the Community RNC Arrestee Support Structure (CRASS).  more
