Department of Homeland Security denies basic rights
The security guards (specifically, R. Lawler) lay out new rules for the Campus Antiwar Network during their sit-in at Kohl's office: they can't have their water bottles, they can't have their computers, they can't even have the pillows they brought. Bathroom visits are escorted, and can only have one man and one woman at any time. This is right before they forbid us from closing the door to our room for privacy. The only right we have, they say? "The right to leave."
Morning at Kohl's office - imposition of more containment.
