I was extremely close to being arrested myself. That second speech was sort of a re-broadcast of the global speech I had brought earlier. I was waiting for the bullhorn to arrive, which it did, five minutes later. Instead I just said "let's get the guys filming to capture this" since the entire point of the global speech was that it was to be heard worldwide, and I'm pretty loud as it is.

Five minutes later, bullhorn arrives. First thing that's read off? OTIII

Shortly after, Global Speech was re-read by someone else since my voice was going out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d652n_K3M8
The two that read from the bullhorn were arrested.
Later, I was told that we were covered up "too much". What?

per our "spokesperson", ATL_SP, they specifically pointed me out. ("...you in the red.")
So I guess I dodged the bullet.
What time was supposed to be spent at a Saint Patty's/post-protest party was spent with some other anons, bailing out the two that were arrested.
I won't even go into all the honkers that were pulled over for "illegal use of horn." If that's not shady, I don't know what is.
*sigh* time to snailmail the ACLU...
