St. Paul, MN– The Community RNC Arrestee Support Structure (CRASS) announced Tuesday that large numbers of community members will pack Ramsey County courtrooms next week in support of the 13 people scheduled to stand trial on charges stemming from the Republican National Convention. One defendant is facing felony charges, seven are facing gross misdemeanor charges and five are charged with misdemeanors.

“We have stood in solidarity with our friends every step of the way,” said CRASS court watch working group member, Bill Drebenstedt. “From the time of their arrests, through the arraignment, omnibus and pre-trial hearings, we have literally stood at their sides. We are now turning up the pressure by increasing our presence even more.”

2. 13? That's all?

You mean to tell me they didn't arrest a bunch of
cops for their actions? Seems like at least 13 coppers need to be on trial there.
