It was latter  seen from said highway and was entirely visible and looked fabulous.  Hundreds of people undoubtedly saw it. It was a red banner painted in  black letters &#8220;Free Amelia Nicol! Shame on DPD.&#8221; With a circle A for the  A in Amelia!<br \/>\nIt almost seems like a prophetic act, given that today at Amelia&#8217;s  court date most of the charges were dropped. She will, most indisputably  not go to prison for 90 years as the prosecution would have liked her  too. Indeed, even the judge said, dismayingly and shaking his head that  he thought that she had been over charged. The court room was packed and  filled with hushed laughter at the ludicrous testimonies given by the  police officers and detective that served as witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>Banner drops are easy and fun, effective in catching people\u2019s eyes,  educating people on issues that they may not know about, showing  solidarity, and hopefully changing a few minds! I encourage that  everyone partake in such actions and any actions that show support for  those doing time and suffering in any other way from the overhanging  power structures of capitalism and the police state.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours<\/p>\n<p>Some Anarchist Banner Bandits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Colorado Indymedia: Today a banner was dropped over I-25 near downtown in support of Amelia Nicol (learn more about the case here: http:\/\/denverabc.wordpress.com\/?&#8230;) It was dropped at approximately 7 am, 1 and a half hours before her court date &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/?p=1010\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2532,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[880,882],"tags":[155,43,59],"class_list":["post-1010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-actions","category-updates","tag-amelia-nicol","tag-denver","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2532"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1010"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1010\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6464,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1010\/revisions\/6464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waronsociety.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
