Four California activists were arrested Tuesday while protesting the case of
Kevin Cooper, set to be executed in less than a week. Gov. Schwarzenegger denied a clemency hearing for Cooper (the first time such a hearing was denied since California re-instituted the death penalty in 1978), despite
ample evidence shedding doubt not only on the
fairness of Cooper's trial, but also his alleged guilt. Kevin Cooper is
asking people to
protest for his life.

On the day after war begins, global protests will shock and awe. I'm often reminded that it took years for Vietnam protests to reach the levels we've already seen -- of course, after 3-4 hours, it may hardly matter. *cries*
