Tacoma SDS

Hear Joe LaSac at King's Books, 218 St. Helens Ave. on Friday, December
5th at 7 pm. Joe will be showing some video footage of the Democratic National
Convention, and the Republican National Convention. We will be discussing the
free speech issues involved in the events that took place at these conventions
last summer.
You may have seen Joe La Sac's videos on YouTube. He became locally well
known when he was stopped by a Tacoma police officer while videotaping on the
Puyallup River mudflats. He thus became an instant cause-celebre for the issue

Tacoma cops arrested Joe LaSac and his camera just after midnight, August 5th 2008 with a charge of criminal trespassing. Jail support bailed Joe out of jail just before 5am Tuesday morning. Joe was arrested while retreating form a parking lot onto the sidewalk at the Port of Tacoma where Tacoma police were threatening protesters with laser pointer equipped tasers.

His arraignment is this Friday at 1:30 pm.
