In Boston, the District Attorney’s office has dropped charges against a 21-year-old protester who stood outside a military recruiting office dressed like a prisoner at Abu Ghraib. He wore a black hood over his head. He stood on a milk crate with his arms extended out. stereo wires dangled from his fingers. After an hour of carrying out the protest, Joseph Previtera was arrested and charged with three crimes including the felony of making a bomb threat. After prosecutors determined no such threat was made and that Previtera simply stood in silence, the charges were dropped.
