Is it just me or does it seem like more and more protesters are getting arrested for... protesting? This one caught my eye because the protester, Mike Ferner is fighting the charges in court.

I wrote to Mike and he replied with:

here's an update.
i've spoken with the illinois aclu and they're taking the case. i'll be
fighting this all the way and will keep you posted. as i stated in the
story, this kind of behavior must absolutely be resisted or we are well on
our way to a police state in the current climate.
by the way, the shirt said "veterans for peace" and that's it. it also has
our logo on it, a military helmet with a dove.

The logo I believe looks like this-> http://www.veteransforpeace.org/images/vfplogocrop.gif
