  As of 11:30am, there was a protest at Holyoke Community College against
  military recruiters.  The protesters were not blocking the recruiters, but
  were just trying to counter protest and provide real information about
what
  the military does.

  The police arrived and started knocking people to the ground and
  macing them.   The College Republicans were there encouraging the
  police to attack the protesters. Reportedly, the College Administration
  called the police.

  Please immediately call 413-538-7000 and register your outrage with the
  President's office at the College's attack on peaceful protest on a public
  campus.

  Thank you!

  For more information, please contact Charles Peterson of the HCC Anti-War
  Coalition charlest.peterson at gmail.com

  More news on this situation will follow.
