Monkey Bar Protest on TV & Radio

We had an outstanding demo last night- Several dozen activists (as reported

by Channel 8 News) made life less than happy for the Tsuchiya Brothers and

assorted goons at their big bash. Faith Scheideman was our prisoner

monkey--dressed in stripes and crouched in a cage. We handed out many

flyers detailing why monkeys don't belong in bars, and we slowed patrons'

entry to the bar by our exuberant, if not terribly well organized picket

line.

We had excellent support from cars passing by--who honked and gave us the

shaka sign. Machiko Mann and 2 friends shouted in Japanese to trolleys

full of Japanese tourists to boycott the bar. The bar called HPD and the

number of squad cars and cushmans multiplied like alien species in a mamane

grove. One of the officers was seen hugging a Blue Tropix security

guard...and the officers did nothing when Cindy Newberg was hit by an

impatient driver entering the parking lot--but they did their swagger bit

and tried to intimidate us 8)

We were the lead story on the KHNL (ch8) (NBC affiliate) 10:00 news, and

Darren Tsuchiya looked pretty defensive in his defense of the bar keeping

monkeys.

Mahalo plenty to everyone who came out last night
