Hey. if you use your mom's account and mommy, you yourself are not contributing to the corporation you are marching against..

Why does the SPD allow this to go on? My commute was crap yesterday. They should have marched these chumps right into the back of a van and sent them away for unlawful assembly.

The US doesn't have unlawful assembly laws, in fact one would be unconstitutional. Most highly developed countries have good freedom of assembly for that matter. Some I can think of that don't are China and Singapore...

Do this idiots realize that Guy Fawkes was a religious terrorist? They could wear Bin Laden masks instead.

Or that these masks were undoubtedly made in a corporately owned factory. They should knit masks out of locally raised wool!

They do but they're running with it anyway...hardly the first symbol with some baggage. It was intended to be more of a reference to V for Vendetta than Guy Fawkes.

You are free to assembly but not be an unapproved unlicensed un permitted rolling roadblock to traffic. Seattle local laws require permits for parades. It was un permitted and therefore illegal.

Noone would have cared if these guys just stayed in a park.. but they decided to screw up an already screwed up commute home. Mess with my commute, you're not winning any favors.

I just left the Chinese buffet. It was tasty and I actually didn't eat too much.

Papercraft Guy Fawkes masks are available for download...this is the smarter way to get one since it's possible to obtain it in a way that can't be traced back to you.

I was going to say organic, steroid free, non-GMO plastic.

But wool works.

As many folks that use Etsy, I highly doubt Handmade would have put them out of business.
