Default “V” Makes A Mark In DC

Anybody hear about this?



Quote:
On November 6, 2006, a lone man in a "V" mask and clothing visited security checkpoints at the White House, the main Treasury Building, the Department of Justice and the Capitol, to deliver a letter and the Petitions for Redress. A short videotape of the encounters has made its way around the Internet, including links from sites such as MySpace.com.

The letter informed the leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government that up to 100 people in "V" masks and clothing would gather in silent vigil at those locations on November 14th to await a response to the Petitions for Redress.

True to his word, at 11:00 A.M. on Tuesday, November 14, 2006, nearly 100 men and women in "V" masks and clothing could be seen walking along different streets in downtown Washington, DC, all heading to Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House.

Verily, 'V' vetters victorious in violentlessly venting views to vagabonds.

I'm surprised masked people are able to assemble in DC without getting arrested.

The jails were probably still full from Hallowe'en.

I had heard about it, but for quite a while was extremely puzzled as to what meaning he had intended to convey by showing up dressed as a space lizard. I had never heard of any other "V"s.

In Oklahoma, just wearing a mask in public can get you prison time.

The law does make exceptions for Halloween and masquerade balls.

So...A streaker with a little mask on his gonads would be exempt from arrest?

Yep, as long as said streaker's private dangly parts and buttocks remained covered and his face not, he would be safe from arrest.

Did you have indoor plumbing in the cave?

Actually I thought of the old V series too, despite knowing about V for Vendetta.
