Hey OLYBLOG

This evening, I was officially banned from Ralph's and Bayview Thriftway by some of their loss prevention store security people.

I pulled into the parking lot with the intent on buying some cat food. As I exited my car, I witnessed two very large men in plain clothes physically detaining two minors on bicycles. Each of the large men had a very firm grip on the forearms of the kids. The kid closest to me had finger marks on his arm where it was not discolored bright red from being squeezed. The man restraining this boy was searching the kid: patting him down, going through his pockets and making him lift his shirt. Several people were making their way in and out and no one was bothering to intervene.

this is being posted to multiple forums so if my editorial comments seem like they are pointing a figner at "you", please considering that there are trillions of people in the world and I am indeed not pointing a finger at "you".

One of Olympia's best kept secrets is the recent formation of a female roller derby team, The Oly Rollers. They have been honing their skills at Skateland- www.skatelandolympia.com - and are in the process of incorporating themselves so they can have actual roller derby meets/competitions. This is one of the more DIY organizations I have seen in a long time, that is not falling short of expectationn. The women of the league have been deidcating countless hours and their time to realize the league. Won't you come out and support them? they are having a benefit raiser at The Manium Warehouse in downton Olympia this Sunday, 7 May 2006. The festivities start at 7PM and continuing until midnight.
