Crying Out Against the Despair of Militarism

From Peace Work, the pre-sentencing statement of Donte Smith, a 19 years old "student, labor organizer, and social justice activist" arrested at the arrested at the School of the Americas Watch (SOA) protest at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation [WHINSEC] at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Some of us employed theatrics (i.e. las Puppetistas) to express our own personal sorrow about the institutions like WHINSEC.

And now, the results of that hearing.

Donte Smith was sentenced to three months in prison and a $500 fine.
