| Weekend of Action Concludes With Two Final Demos |
April 22nd 2007 |
On Sunday, ADL's Weekend of Action concluded with two final events. First activists arrived at the home of Howard Woltmann (President of Overton Freight) and only got a few words in before police arrived and Howard, for the first time, showed himself as activists stood silent. The police informed the protestors that it was illegal to make any noise at any demo (In the daytime no less) and that it was trespassing for whoever placed a single flyer in the door handle, despite it being completely legal in reality to walk up to someone's door and ring their doorbell and that it is only trespassing when the owner of the property has told people to leave. This was never verbalized, but it is the reason activists were not detained, as there was no basis for it. The officer present ordered protestors to lower their signs so that Howard could remember their faces. Activists did not comply with this order and no consequence resulted.

Activists then returned to the home of David Carey (Arca attorney), and this time he was home. He took information regarding HLS and Arca. Activists stuck around for a while holding signs and a banner, explaining to a neighbor why they were there. David Carey was then informed that activists will continue to show up at his door until NYSE Arca drops HLS.
