Advice on chaining (making a scene)

Katzistanza
26-01-2006, 06:05
I plan to chain myself to a promonant public structure in the near future (I won't say where or when or why at this time) and I need some advice. I have already set up friends to bring me food, water, et ecetera durring my time in chains, but the knawing question is that of using the bathroom. Piss is easy enough. Pee in a bucket, with on of those changing screens. But number 2 is presenting a problem. A bucket seems to be the easyest answer, but I really don't like the idea of sitting next to a bucket of shit. Also, the problem of where my firends can dispose of the waste is yet to be solved.

Right now I'm thinking of a bucket with a sealing lid, but the disposal problem still needs to be solved.

Also, any other advice/problems you see in my plan would be greatly appreciated.

I'll maby even give you a shout-out if I make it onto the local news :D

In my experience, you can stop you digestive processes almost completely if you fast for about 6 days. That'll solve your problems devising a "restroom."

As for the chains, the cops will cut them pretty quickly if you're chaining yourself anywhere important. If you want attention, chain yourself someplace no one cares about and put out a press release.. that'll get you your paragraph in the local paper. Chaining yourself someplace important will get you about 5 minutes of attention from the police... that's about it.

ai'ight, I plan to chain myself to the White House fence and demand that Bush come out and talk Bible with me, or give me a phone with him on the other end. I have absolutly zero expactation that Bush will respond or take notice in any way. My other goal is to encourage other people to get passionate about politics, and to expess themselves in whatever way their conscience compels. I also want to point out the utter hypocracy of Bush's militeristic forgien policy with his claims of being "the God candidate."

My other concern is getting media attention. I was ganna call up the local TV news, radio news, and newspapers a couple of hours before I do this and try to convince them this is something story-worthy. Any advice on that front?

Send me a postcard from Gitmo ;).

But seriously, the idea of fasting is a good one. Make sure you cut out alcohol and "other substances" prior to it and begin a regime of healthy dieting prior to starting your fast.

Oh, and keep your fluids up.

I am fully aware that I will, in all likelyhood, be thrown in jail.

What happened to Sheehan? I was out of the country for a bit, and when I got back, I heard nothing about her.

This is why I didn't want to tell the when or where or why. I knew I'd get alot of "you'll get arrested" "you'll get shot" "you'll get sent to Gitmo."

What I need in advice on how to poop, and live chained to a fence (or possibly tree/lamp post, less likely I'd be shot/arrested outright for "attacking the president") for at the very least a week. And how to get the media to take notice.

Hopefully the sight of someone doing something will inspire others to take action. The peace movement is in shambles, people have lost the will to fight, it's nothing like it was 5 or 10 years ago, and even less compared to what went on durring 'Nam.


So I don't want to hear why this won't work, unless it's constructive critisism. I don't want to be told my cause is dumb. I really don't care if you think so. What I want is advice. Anyone with that to offer, I await your post.

Far as I know, they have most of the immediate White House area cordoned off 24/7 now, so no one can approach within a block's distance, I believe. So..good luck.

If you're going to use a bucket, just have one of your friends empty it out in a toilet for disposal (rather regularly, of course, so that you don't back up the plumbing).

And I salute your courage and commitment to your ideals. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.

Man you don't have to worry one bit about shitting, pissing or even going to jail. You won't be there long enough to park your butt before you are on your way to a Mental Hospital. Of course you might want to think about pissing when you find out they already have your pairnoid schizophrenia diagnosis ready for your preliminary hearing via video.

And remember to throw a garbage liner in the bucket before you shit in it. Makes it easier to clean.

Hey now.. I gave real advice.. :(

The bit about fasting, that is. As I said earlier (before you mentioned where/why you were protesting), chaining yourself someplace important will earn you a date with a pair of bolt-cutters and the paddywagon in about 15 minutes, I believe. I wouldn't worry about the long haul.

I don't see how you can win. If Bush comes out and debates with you, and the American people judge him to be the victor, you will have lost. If Bush stays inside, you will have lost.

There's a reason the peace movement is nigh dead. It's because Americans aren't sure that it's worth it any more. The evil deed's been done and it apparently only takes one or two pieces of good news a year to keep Americans indifferent to it.

Or it could be that the war in Iraq has no direct effect on most people in the US, unlike Vietnam.

I wouldn't worry about the bathroom. If you chain yourself to the whitehouse railings, within ten minutes the SS will taser the fuck out of you, cut the chains using a bolt cutter and whisk you away.

I don't think number 2 is going to be an issue. (Unless you shit yourself during the tasering, but it's not like you could do anything about that anyway.)

Of course, to be on the safe side, you prolly should wear some depends.

bring garbage bags. nice and discrete, and convenient. Some kind of screen would also be ideal so you don't end up getting arrested for indecent exposure of all things.

I would not reccomend a full fast for a week without first consulting a doctor. It could be quite dangerous. If you do, drink lots of clear liquids.

Good luck with this

the first thing to realize about a lockdown is that regular chain is fairly ineffective anywhere where the authorities at all expect it. firstly, because they just cut that shit and drag you away in less than 5 minutes. secondly, because they like to completely surround you with cops, so that none of it is really visible to anyone else anyway. to be at all effective you need to slow them down. sleeping dragons are where it's at. and it certainly helps to work with a group of people, for tactical and media support.

How about a legal option like a sandwichboard and a cardboard megaphone? You can march around D.C. all day every day with that setup, and no one can say "boo" to you... It's a pretty well-established fact that the police have ways of overcoming chain... remember those kids who used lead pipe to connect their wrists? 5 minutes with a plasma torch later, those kids were in the paddy wagon like the rest... (with some nasty burns) just saying.. :(

Plus, the legal way gives you a wonderful excuse to wear one of those straw hats! I can't be the only one who loves straw hats..

at least technically. we actually just recently won more court cases stemming from a severe violation of that back in sept 2002, when they illegally arrested 600+ people. we've now got it on the books that those in charge can be held personally liable for that shit, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of dollars we already made the city pay out. but that still doesn't erase the day and a half people spent hogtied on buses and in a detention center.

I ACTUALLY laughed out loud when I read the location! Are you serious? You want to know where to poop? You'll poop your pants when 15 Secret Service agents surround you, chain you up (with their chains) and take you to a small room for 36 hours of interrogation.

Hope you have a good lawyer, and don't mind being on an F.B.I. list FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!

I don't think anyone's "excited" in any way, but the guy's talking about doing something that's going to bring him harm, most likely, and says he can't be talked out of it... I think that describing a probable playout of the situation is a subtle (or not so subtle) way of discouraging rash behavior like that... .good luck to the guy either way..

As for "right-wingers," I should say that I, for one, warned the guy before I knew why he was going to do it... he coulda been a "right-winger," for all I knew..

There's a difference between saying something like "Uh, well, good luck to you but I wouldn't if I were you - you'll probably get yourself beaten and put in jail"
and saying 'HA! YES! I can't WAIT till you are severly beaten and put in a cell - hopefully with an agressive mexican transvestite! Oh GOD yes!"

I personally think it's not a great idea either, but i'm not going to relish the idea of someone who is only trying to voice their views and not hurting anyone themselves getting harmed.

This is serious. You're going to jail. No question, and already agreed upon.
You will be blacklisted by the Secret Service and subject to discretionary surveillance for the rest of your life.
There is no appeals process for such a matter.
Think about what you are doing.
Think about your future. And your kids' futures.
It is a lie that the IC already has you on record. They've got too many other things to worry about. But the minute you try this stunt, your family will face serious consequences for a very long time.

No really.

If you believe that strongly about what it is your doing, let no one stop you.

But...dont worry about where to poop, or food, or anything like that, becuase....very serious now...you'll be arrested by the secret service almost immediately.
You will INDEED get some media attention, who knows, maybe even a guest three minutes on one of the news channels....(dont count on it, but who knows.)

What you should do, as know exactly what it is you have to say, PRESICELY, becuase when you get the attention youre after, you wont have long to say it.
Use catchphrases....no joke.
Make your point.

DOn't do it. You'll be wrestled to the ground by federal agents, cut loose and carried away. Then you'll be on the No-fly list. :p

The only advice I can give you is: get as close as you can and as soon as a security agent spots you,... RUN (oh and don't bring the key of the chain with you, but you probably already knew that:p )

Yea, the more I think about it, the more I think a tree or post by the fence would be better, for this exact reason.

On one hand, it's less noticable/not as grand an act, but in the other hand, it'll last longer then about an hour, if that.

So I'll have to think about this part of the plan.

Of course, with properly made lock-on tubes one can slow the process of cutting through them considerably. The security forces need to keep changing blades on their angle-grinders as they come up against the different layered components.

indeed. it also helps to rig it so multiple people are locked down together. especially if done so that they can't just remove people in chunks.

there used to be a fairly good guide to the basics online. but i couldn't find it when i looked briefly so i could link to it.

But then if he does say he has a bomb, at least his fifteen seconds of fame will turn into probably about fifteen minutes of fame, or at least until the bomb squad shows up. I wonder what they would do if someone had a bomb inside of them...... That could possibly buy you quite a while.

If it's inside of him, not likely

There would be the risk of hitting the bomb and blowing it up, even though the chance would be low, they wouldn't risk it. They would clear the area away, evacuate the president, or something like it, and call a bomb squad.

I have no response, I was still going under the assumption he was chained to the fence.

I must admit, you made me laugh though. and you made me cry looking at your sig, stealing my battle cry, which I rightfully stole from my favorite superhero.

you would have to coinvince them that if that shot you in the head, you would explode. granted, they'd just clear the area, surround the area with a blast shield, then pop a few shots.

possible, but then the bomb squad would have their way with his body, it would be an interesting situation, I actually want to see what would happen now. Damn I'm fucking sadistic.

EDIT: yes, please do that, I don't think I should be credited with the idea.......

Of course, with properly made lock-on tubes one can slow the process of cutting through them considerably. The security forces need to keep changing blades on their angle-grinders as they come up against the different layered components.

What if they use a cutting torch?

What exactly is illegal about chaining yourself to the White House fense from the outside?

Edit: Best of luck to you! :)




Nothing.


It's just too much to expect the government to actually care about our freedom to protest and to free speech.

Those are two rights which are ignored all the time :\

If the gov wasn't reading this before, I'm sure that that tripped some sort of keyword program.

Exactly. You should hear some of the stories street medics with the Black Cross have. Scary stuff.

Yeah and afterwards, the media would be on about how this website and Max Barry incourages terrorism, and how this proves that government info-rape of Google, and much more, is justified in order to prevent another such tragedy from happening again. Bush gets elected for a third time since martial law is declared and Congress is suspended. World slips into total chaos.

No thanks!
