Tim Rarus Arrested
Deaf Kitchen Along with 75 (and counting) others, DPN 1988 leader Tim Rarus has been arrested. He stated "King, we helped you in 1988 and now you are arresting me."This is so abhorrently wrong for Gallaudet to do this.

I King Jordan Uses Force
Deaf in the City I King Jordan Uses ForceToday at 7 p.m. I King Jordan ordered the use of force on protestors blocking the gates of Gallaudet University. I am sorry he could not have done a better job. I feel this is a betrayal not only of his duty as a college president but of his own career. It is ironic: the protest at its core was about communication.I pray for the future of Deaf [...]

Arrests imminent? Praying nobody gets hurt.
Mike McConnell Looks like time has stood still at Deafread. Arrests imminent at Gallaudet University? Praying that nobody gets hurt. It's not the time nor place to make the wrong moves that could have damaging, long term consequences. Waiting and watching just like everybody else...history in the making, though grim.

Police Lied To The Very End
Mishka Zena Just got this via pager of a student Just came from 6th street (needed warmer clothes).  The entire street is blocked off.  The police continue to insist they won’t arrest everyone.  One cop said, “we are just here to make sure everyone is alright.”  DPS marched through in a single-file line and everyone booed them.
