SDS activists arrested in Ohio, being held on bail

Two SDS members were arrested in Dayton, Ohio today at a military
recruitment center protest and are being held on $374 bail each, so we
need to raise money for them since they're young college students and
need some help with it.

They're being charged with:

Ohio Revised Code (RC) 2909.06(A)(1),
Criminal Damaging Or Endangering,
a misdemeanor of the second degree (Class A)

So, if you could dig into your wallets and donate some money for bail
to get these kids out, it would be extremely appreciated.

DAYTON — Two college students took their protests against the war in Iraq a bit too far Friday, police said.

The two young women were arrested on a criminal damaging complaint after they went inside two military recruiting offices and tossed brochures and tore down banners, Dayton Police Lt. Matt Carper said.

The arrests took place shortly after 11 a.m. after the students arrived in front of the Marines, Navy, and Army recruiting offices near Fourth and Main streets.

The women were among nine people from the Students for a Democratic Society. They held signs that featured phrases like, "An Army of none" and "No blood for oil." All nine said they were Antioch University students.

The students said they believe the war is about profit and were also hoping to engage those being recruited into the military.

Dayton Police tips

for lawful protesting

• Don't destroy property.

• Stand on sidewalks, but don't block doorways or keep pedestrians from passing by.

• Speak freely, but don't threaten or harm others.

• Leave when told to do so by property or business owners.
