Hunter Thompson: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Parker: "Let's go pro, sisters & brothers"

Message from Michael Parker:


Hello, friends. We had a great meeting this evening, and we have a plan. Forget just about everything from yesterday's update. Since it appears that Shreveport-Barksdale Highway will be blocked off, we are returning to Columbia Park for our rendezvous point. Since the Americans for Social Security group has moved their rally to LSUS, we will not be doing anything requiring a permit, just parking, meeting and marching. We will meet at 11:45 & leave soon after, with our destination being the designated protest zone at Alexander & King's, outside the Cline Residence Hall at Centenary.
Signs are being made as I write this, and another group of Centenary faculty & students are doing the same at another party in the neighborhood. They will be at the protest zone.
I think tomorrow will be a watershed moment in progressive politics in our city. Don't hesitate to call me (227-7685) early in the morning if you have any questions. I can't think of any better sentiments to leave you with that those of the late Hunter S. Thompson: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Let's go pro, sisters and brothers.
