Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"Unfortunately, this was top down. The fist cop on the scene, when we arrived, barking orders over his PA system, confirmed that. Somebody in command decided to ambush us with a Wolf Pack -- they were lying in wait for us. And they did what Wolf…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"Yes, the Naked Ride is very different -- it has something more like a traditional organizational structure. CM doesn't. I can negotiate on behalf of the Naked Ride (only at their request.) I can't do that with CM. All I can do with CM is…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"The cops got the map, knew we were coming, and knew people were trying to defuse tension. What we got at the beach from the cops was not a random dust-up. It was a planned attack.

Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"The lesson we should take from this experience is the the police cannot be trusted with any plans involving the 23d District. We trusted Commander Boehmer, and went out of our way to manage the ride in her turf, and she stabbed us in the back.
She…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"I think 2 were arrested, but I don't know for sure. The surly cops would not talk to me.
Maybe next month we end the ride at 3600 N. Halsted. I mean, we tried real hard this month to end the ride at a place where there wouldn't be any…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"First, and foremost, you guys did a great job with this ride. We got a brilliant start, and a brilliant finish. The hard corking at LSD and the lure of the beach party worked perfectly. It was excellent.
Second, I am extremely disappointed with the…"

To truly appreciate the varying topics discussed on the Chainlink requires a grasp of the sublime nature of the insight brought to light only through the pursuit of Philosophy. And to that aim the Velo Philosophers strive!

Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"Tell your friend he's a selfish coward. And if he has any guts, he'll come with me to the lock-up to see the people who end up in jail as a result of his stunt, and I'll tell each and every one of them:
"Here's the guy who…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"I can't lead, but I can support the leaders. And maybe I'll even wear my SFH (stupid fucking hat), which advertises me as lawyer. I suspect people will be a little wary of getting ahead of the lawyer. And I can advise people that there is…"
Jerry replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'July 2010 CCM' in the group Critical Mass discussion"OK, folks, I got a call from Kevin suggesting this thread could use my input. So, here it is (and, no, I haven't reviewed the whole thread, because I don't like to see my friends, and people for whom I have great respect, mixing it…"

"An unusually loose netwar design -- one that is eminently leaderless yet manages to organize a large crowd for a rather chaotic, linear kind of swarming -- is found in the pro-bicycle, anti-car protest movement known as Critical Mass. . . "

We're having a meeting to talk about directing Critical Mass in a more positive direction on July 12.
If you want to help out at the July ride, I might be an easy person to spot. I'll have some kind of balloon sculpture on top of my helmet.
