The chances are all four will walk.

The Army knows it -- they didn't arrest them.

The four know it -- they've been through it all before.

The public knows it -- they've been through it all before too.

Scotty apparently believes this to be a glorious stride forward
in the revolution. Gwendolyn Niheu a.k.a. Gwendolyn Kim has visions of
going down in history as the second Rosa Parks. (You should have seen
the TV coverage)


The bottom line is -- the four were not able to disrupt the
meeting -- which was their clear intent.
