Telling Officer Pig to Step Off...with a rock
It seems a loosely organized group called the Rainbow Peace Family wanted to have a rally on property "owned" by the USG and ruled by an armed gang called [the] US Forest Service. So this armed gang set up a checkpoint where they wanted to search and hassle everyone entering their turf. And so what happended when the Rainbows objected to all this stuff?
"The Rainbow Family peace gathering turned hostile Tuesday", said local news reports, "when a group of attendees began hurling rocks and sticks at law enforcement officers, U.S. Forest Service officials said.
The incident forced the officers to abandon a checkpoint they had established near the entrance to the Rainbow gathering campsite in North Routt County, Forest Service spokeswoman Diann Ritschard said. Officers had not returned to the checkpoint as of Tuesday afternoon."
Hah! Score one for the use of direct action in the quest to live free.
