A few current reports, and a 3 hour flashback featuring part of Mark Kurlansky’s History of a Dangerous Idea (Non-Violence), Bench Defenders on Pacific, the Woes of Officer Winston, Protest Poll Outside Lulu Carpenter’s, and many voices from the past including Right-as-Rain Ronee Curry, Streetscanner Satori, Moonstruck Mike, Animal, Luther, Renegade Ray, Joker, Robert Blindbear, and the Caw of the Crow.

Tonight’s show includes today’s update from Food not Bombs and Freedom Sleeper activist Keith McHenry on Freedom SleepOut #103 at City Hall night before last, and a melange of interviews and opinions from 16 years ago including “Just Man” James Cosner’s Smashing of the Columbus statue at City Hall, pre-heroic antics of SCPD Sgt. “Sticky Fingers” Butchie Loren Baker, background on the Sleeping Ban…and, of course, more.

Some current reports, and a lengthier flashback discussing the destruction of the San Jose “Jungle” in the winter of 2014, the legal struggles to keep the City Hall grounds open for protest in a lengthy interview with attorney Larry Hildes, thoughts from San Diego’s “boxing barrister” Paul Cook on ways to fight for homeless civil rights….and more !

Back to the struggles of yesteryear–when Chris Krohn was Mayor, and there was a “progressive” majority on the City (Shitty) Council supposedly committed to Sleeping Ban Reform including Keith Sugar, Tim Fitzmaurice, Ed Porter, Scott Kennedy,  and Emily Reilly.   Up for rehearing is the June 9, 2002 show with highlights “the Necessity Defense”, Robert Letterman’s  of A.R.T.I.S.T  (Artists Response to Illegal State Tactics) follow up on his successful defense against 1997 arrest for distributing pamphlets at D.C. with Scope-it-out-Scott Graham, Tuneful Mike True, Roughrider Richard Quigley and others.  Also Lighthouse Linda Lemaster on the 2002-2003 budget.
