Freedom!

Jennifer Whitney was released with other members of the Infernal Noise Brigade without being charged, but the authorities expect her to return in October and be charged.  Y'can all let the city know how you feel about that.  I'd like to see commissioner Kelly receive a couple faxes outlining the illegality of Jennifer Whitney's arrest, detention for over 30 hours without arrest and over 40 hours never being charged, and unhealthy conditions without access to a bed.  These facts of course also go for the Noise Brigade members and many, many others protesting (or just in Manhattan at the time of) the Republican National Convention.

My talking to New York City authorities didn't make a minutes worth of difference in Whitney's release.  It was the absolutely rocking National Lawyers Guild that pushed the court to force the city to release all people who had been in police custody, without being charged yet, for way over 24 hours.
