Pacifist Posse

7 March 2007—Charlottesville Police arrested a member of the Posse for trespassing at US Representative Virgil Goode’s local office today. The local action, which is part of the larger peace action, coordinated by the Voices for Creative Non-Violence and called the “Occupation Project,” has seen 9 people arrested over the past three weeks. This week, Possifist Pat was among them. One of those arrested with her, Brian Buckley, serves as the contact for the local Occupation Project effort

Local media caught the action. You can see David Douglas’ report, entitled “Protestors Arrested at Goode’s Office.” The PP will bring you more about this as we have a chance. Please drop comments (with links to other coverage) in the comments.

BONUS POINTS: The arrestee Wed 7 Mar was the same person who is shown in the current quiz on PP (see this entry). Hint-hint. Nod. Wink. Also, should that be MisRepresentative Goode?

Update: Thanks to George Loper for the good photo. Note that the pink objects in the foreground are petals from flowers been thrown in Pat’s path.
