Protester picks wrong spot to lock himself
The Olympian, Olympia Washington
Wednesday, March 19, 2003 Protester picks wrong spot to lock himself OLYMPIA -- A man spent hours chained to the wrong building Tuesday in an ill-planned effort to protest war with Iraq, police said. Jody Mason padlocked himself to an entrance of the Washington State Grange building at 924 Capitol Way S., thinking it was a sub-office of the U.S. Department of Energy. Grange employees found him about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday and asked what he was doing. He told employees he'd chained himself to the building in civil disobedience Monday night after listening to President Bush's televised ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. Mason padlocked one end of the chain around his neck and the other to a door, which opens to a bottom-floor office. He told onlookers he was protesting Bush's foreign and domestic policies. He had affixed a sign to the building reading, "Reduce Deficit." Grange employees explained that he was at the wrong building. The Grange is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates for residents in rural areas. "I don't think that's ever happened before," said Larry Clark, Grange communications director. No charges Police officers used heavy-duty bolt cutters to free Mason. "He asked for help because he didn't have the key," Olympia police Cmdr. Steve Nelson said. Mason wasn't arrested and won't face any charges. Officers let him go and didn't take his name, Nelson said. "He was our first protester since President Bush's speech," Nelson said. Mason, who identified himself to a photographer, said he had looked up the Department of Energy in the phone book. The phone book, under the Department of Energy, lists a Bonneville Power Administration Office at 924 Capitol Way S. ?2003 The Olympian Mike Salsbury/The Olympian Jody Mason of Olympia is locked to the Washington State Grange office building Tuesday to protest war.
