ELVEN ACTIVISTS ARRESTED IN BELLEVUE PROTEST
Two members of the Elves Against Racism movement were arrested as
they attempted to spray-paint slogans outside a Humanis chapter
meeting. They have been charged with disorderly conduct and other public
order offences. The Humanis chapter's head, Kerry Stanson, praised Lone
Star for their 'swift, efficient and measured' response.

EAR spokesman Garaint Pinegrove, though, had a different story.

"In a Human district, two Elves armed only with paint are seized and
arrested, in less than ten minutes, by eight police officers for daring to
raise their voices. The same day, in an Elven district, twelve Elves are
machine-gunned to death, executed by Human murderers, and the police
take two hours to even _notice_."

EAR has called in the past for a campaign of civil disobedience, and with
the recent incidents its support is rising. Founded in the aftermath of the
Children of Thunda's reign of terror, EAR has come to enjoy a significant
popularity among Elves and some metahuman activists.

Civil disobedience my butt, though. I say, we give the Humans back
exactly what they give us.

They want a war? Then I say they get one. Thunda and his kids killed some
breeders along with the Elves, and that's why the Feds got involved. So,
maybe if some breeders die now, then we'll get the Feds here again.

Can't get much worse now than it already is.]<<<<<

The breeders are here, killing at will. See anyone doing jack about it?

Thunda and his kiddies snuffed some Humans among the Elves, and the
Feds were on their ass in an eyeblink. A bunch of Mafia offing Elves?
Nobody outside Tarislar gives a damn.

Time someone _did_ give a damn.]<<<<<

Apparently the Black Prince is a little wary of receiving outside help. This
last incident should do much to change that impression. I will contact you
