On the 14th of July, pro-choice protesters continued their campaign of residential protests against anti-choice Supreme Court "Justices."

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 07/14/2022 - 01:25

The July 13th Kavanaugh/Roberts home demos received some ugly harassment from the Montgomery County police. Before protests began, cops warned that any complaints from the neighhborhood snitches would lead to first warnings and potentially arrests for anything louder than private conversation. A 72 dB limit was claimed. Protesters received warnings at Kavanaugh's but not Robert's house.
