The mistrial is the best news we could have heard. Early afternoon today the trail of the OCAP activist came to a close, the jury was unable to come to a conclusion to wether or not the activist planned and participated in a riot on June 15th three years ago. This lack of decision was so excellent, after months of being on trail and days of waiting for delibeartion, friends family and the three themselves have needed this moment of relief. The fear of being sent to jail had been held over their heads this whole time. Although it is not quite an acquital, I feel that this hung jury shows so much hope for the future of activism and protest. With the rhetoric of activist being terrorists, its nice to know that a jury was not quick to follow the construction of the activist. Thios is not just a victory for these OCAP members it is a victory for protestors everywhere . . .I feel that this result shows that the general public has sympathy for the work that OCAP is doing. I think that the morale of OCAP will be at an all time high, and activists will be rejuivinated to continue to fight for the rights of the poor and homeless.
