3 students, a transient and a professional protester “protesting” on May Day for workers’ rights...........
The six people jailed Thursday after a May Day demonstration in Olympia turned violent include two Evergreen State College students, a South Puget Sound Community College student and three men from California — including one described by a prosecutor as a professional protester.
The three from California are Bryan Riggins, 20, identified in court papers as having been arrested in March during a war protest in San Francisco; Daniel Wilson, 20, identified in court papers as a transient who has a prior arrest for third-degree theft out of Seattle; and a man who identifies himself as Forest A. Student, 20, who has a pending case for allegedly spraying graffiti at Evergreen.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Terri Gailfus called Riggins “a professional protester” in court before Thurston County Superior Court Judge Anne Hirsch on Friday. The three local students are Daniel Busby, 20, a South Puget Sound Community College student originally from Milwaukee; and Evergreen students Randall Hunt, 23, and Stephanie Gottschalk, 19.
I hope Riggins has his licensing up to date, WA is not a right to work state.
