legal update for the pittsburg 6
Update on those arrested-
Everyone is out of jail! We remain in desperate need of money for legal costs over the long haul ahead, and to repay money borrowed to pay the bails of those arrested. You can donate through the link on our website (www.organizepittsburgh.org).
Here is the status of those arrested and more detailed context of what occurred with their arrests. It appears that video exists disproving some of the charges. We will update people on the progress of charges, trials, and any lawsuits which arise as a result of A20.
1: A male arrested (by undercovers on the sidewalk) is facing a felony charge of Rioting To Prevent an Official Action,” as well as charges of “Resisting Arrest,” “Failure to Disperse,” and “Disorderly Conduct.” It has also come out that the police used a tazer stun on him after he was in police custody. He bail was $1,000. He is facing 5-10 years in prison if convicted.
2: The minor grabbed off the sidewalk was issued 3 citations for a variety of offenses. The police were overheard calling her the “Scum One,”apparently they had a problem with the way she was dressed.
3: As for the woman who was tasered while on the ground (after being pulled off the sidewalk): before she was tasered, a police officer lifted up her glasses and directly shot her with pepper spray in the eyes. She is facing charges of “Failure to disperse,” “Obstructing a Passageway,” and “Obstructing Administration of Justice.” She was released on her own recognizence.
4: A male arrested is facing charges of “Resisting Arrest,” “Criminal Mischief of Personal Property,” “Disorderly Conduct,” “Simple Assault,” “Harassment,” and “Obstructing a Public Passageway.” he was released on $3,000 bail and is also facing a hefty prison term if convicted.
5: A male arrested on the sidewalk is facing charges of “Failure to Disperse” and “Obstructing a Public Passageway.” He was released on his own recognizence
6: The women bitten by the dog was released from the hospital and will be receiving a citation for “disorderly conduct.”

the new york city legal defense fund is in contact with pittsburgh legal about helping out with bail and other legal costs. solidarity with our comrades starts before the prison terms begin! one of the many things that the anarchist resistance in the united states is missing, is real solidarity and mutual aid between distant groups and comrades. to be strong enough to defeat the forces of unmitigated power that we are staring down, we must have strong bonds between ourselves that are unbreakable. 'cause you can't blow up a social relationship.
