Breaking! UCSB Students Protesting Iraq Shut Down Highway 217! (Update 3)
by VoteHarder <http://voteharder.dailykos.com> Thu Feb 15, 2007 at 04:17:03 PM PST I just got back from the antiwar protest at UC Santa Barbara, where 3000 students took part in the rally coinciding with today's strike against the war in Iraq (see my last diary for details). Forgive me if this diary seems rushed and nonsensical but my head is spinning right now I'm so happy! The cops are currently blocking the freeway and 300 students are sitting there, waiting to be arrested (I left at 3:05 or so, so they might already be getting cuffed). The rally started at 1 on the west side of campus by the Pardall bike tunnel, as planned, as speakers took turns decrying the war in iraq, congress's total lack of SERIOUS action to stop the war, and the UC's role in the military-industrial complex among other things. A crowd of 2000-3000 students blocked the bike tunnel.
