Default Sherman Austin: Political Prisoner

Sherman Austin: Political Prisoner

Sherman Austin ran the now defunct website Raisethefist.com. On August 4, 2003, he was sentanced to one year in federal prison.

His crime? Having a link to an article that had a link to instructions on creating a rudimentary bomb.

Sherman is an anarchist that promotes non-violent reform through protest and education. When he was 18, his home was raided, and his computers seized by FBI and local law enforcement under the guise of the Patriot Act. He was unfairly sentanced by the judge, and the charges against him are ridiculous. This is clearly an attempt to silence free speech when the world needs it most. His site had gained a large following of radical thinkers, and active participants in the democratic system. He was one of the first innocent victims in this rampage against free speech and human rights that began shortly after George W. Bush took office.

To continue to sit back and let the Bush administration have free reign over your entire country is the opposite of Patriotism, it's apathy for your country, your fellow citizens, and for your Constitutional rights.

The first Vietnam protestors were repeatedly attacked and received death threats. In the early days of the war, a reputable museum had a mock-up of a Vietnamese village with toy guns in front of it. The kids were encouraged to open fire.

It wasn't until everybody in the country who refused to participate in the slaughter of innocent villagers stood together and demanded an end to the military's brutal occupation that something was done. As long as you allow your unelected president to continue to terrorize your fellow countrymen, and citizens of Muslim countries across the world, Peace will never be a viable alternative to war, facism, hatred and murder.
