Seattle Independent Media Center

"Have you had a chance to look at what they've been doing? I saw a couple of them racing around on the big day and hope they got some good footage.

"I think they were trying to get some shots of the Raging Grannies defying a line of police in riot gear today -- but were chased off by some very threatening cops swinging batons... totally uncalled for. We were a group of about 50 -- nearly all women -- and were told we could have NO signs and must be totally silent. The Grannies, bless their hearts, began to sing We Shall Overcome, which seemed to cause great uneasiness. It was not a chant or a slogan, but it was not silence either. We stood holding hands for about ten minutes and then filed back to First Methodist Church. Quite a few people came to stand with us. They mostly hummed."
