Those who've followed resistance to Interstate69 (1-69) in southern Indiana over the last 20
years are ·familiar wfth the Indiana State Police
(ISP)'s outrageous antjcs and zealous repression
of protesters. On April 24, in an over-the-top
move by the ISP, two activists were arrested in
what is obviously the culmination of years of
surveillance., harassme-nt, and,repression (see EF!J
· September-October) ;Tiga and Hugh, two longtime
Indiana residents, are each being charged with
two counts of in~dation (misdemeanors), two
counts of conversion (i.e. theft, misdemeanors)
and one count of corrupt business influence (i.e.
racketeering, a class C felony). If convicted, they
would each face 12.years in prison.
Tiga was arrested on th·e morning of April 24,following a court dat~ in Evansville, Indiana,
·for a prior anti-I-69 action this last Summer. A
few hours later, the car Hugh was traveling in
pulled off at an ice-cream stand just north of
Indianapolis. Minutes later, he was arrested
by a plainclothes US Miushall, tazer drawn, in
front of families and cliildren enjoying their ice
cream. Both were interrogated by Feds and/or
the ISP, including the -fi'er-do-well Brad Chan~
dler, a recurring character in our saga who's
employed full-tim~ to harass activists.
While felonies and jail time aren't anything
to snicker at, it's hard not ·t o snicker when one
looks into the nature ·of the charges. The main
felony of racketeering stems from an antiquated
mob-era charge; part of Indiana's version of the
federal Rad<eteering Irifluenc~ Corrupt Business
Act. This law: was enacted-to suppress "organized
crime," and the current-cha.rges claim that Tiga
__ and Hugh are known to be "leaders of the criminal
enterprise Roadblock Earth First!, and that they
"conspired to commit an.office eviCtion, treesits,
lockdoWI_ls, threatening blog posfings and meeting disruptions." The misdemeanor charges
are in reference to a
st~ged "eviction" of
two 1-69 planning
offices in July 2Q07.

Action "Developing" in
the First Wotld, Too! .
On a dark night in late April,
the ALF liberated several lambs ·
from captivity in an animal breeding farm amidst piles of dead and
rotting lamb bodies and forcibly
inseminated mothers, trapped
in narrow · pens no wider · than
their bodies. On May 6, a young
piglet was liberated from an
intensive farm, and, two . days
later, the ALF totally destroyed
a pheasant pen and a birdcage
belonging to a shooting estate in
· the UK. That same day, Aussie
ALPers glued locks and painted
slogans· on the walls of Ralph's
Meat Exporters in Melbourne,
Austraha.
More recently, ALF activists
left messages . on . the garage
door, sidewalk and street of the
_furrirer, Michel Graina, in Bordeaux, France. The messages
read, Grama=furrier=murderer"
ALF hasn't forgotten you/ ' ,
and Grama,. fur~ier, murderer
at .number 16," re,spectively.
Meanwhile, in. Finlan_d,• during
the months of April and May,
activists attacked two furshops
and two · furQ.iture companies
with. paint bombs and .hammers. (These furniture companies use feathers ripped from
living birds, and have become
subject to attack since a televised expose.)

such as the dangers of excessive
consumption, or in terms of corruption and collusion between
the government and the industry.
To successfully use ~pectacles
to com:r;nunicate our message,
we required the media·to getour
message across. Sections ot the
anti-roads movement and the alter-globalization movement in
the UK had their fingers burnt
by the mainstream media's neg- .
ative portrayal of their activities
that undermined those move'ments over fu:rie. As a result, excellent alternative media has
been developed ·as a necessary
way of breaking the control of
. the ·mainstream media. In addi. tlori, the.movement often chose
·fo ·-ignore the ma,iristream :r;ne,c .
dia, ar&Ying that to .do otlterwise
·· :
would only strengthen its corpo. rate grip.
