On Thursday when FreeKeene.com blogger Meg appears in front of a Cheshire County jury to face charges stemming from her civil disobedience arrest, I’ll be in the audience live-tweeting the events as they unfold.
I am going to trek westward to sit in the audience and support Meg because, well, she is a good person who believes in something important. She is willing to risk her own freedom so that others too can live their lives peacefully without violent state coercion. She didn’t hurt anyone. She stood in front of a car that was being used to unjustly haul someone away who had broken an unjust law.
Brave people like Meg are the reason that societies change for the better. It has happened before in this country… and it is happening again now.
