It is neat that you had that connection. And OMG about being hospitalized. I didn't get my felony conspiracy charge until 10 years later. Luckily, I think by that point they had figured out they shouldn't beat up protestors. Wow, ZM, I guess it is all linked in these little circles! It is neat that you had that connection.

I have to admit I haven't seen Milk- read the book, as always. I was hugely affected by the whole Dan White riots and aftermath - not directly, but because in 1984 when I was arrested for a felony conspiracy and then beaten up and hospitalized by the police- it was a survivor of the DWR's and that police violence who came to my assistance. A loose group linked to Bound Together came to aid and support those of us who has be beaten around the DemCon-84 and through them we were taught the history of Milk, Moscone, Feinstein and Dan White. There is such a long legacy of social justice- and injustice- its nice to take a step back and reflect upon it. I still find the footage of Feinstein's announcement utterly painful.
