~ well, certain members of the angry red planet have been unselected from their initial jury. of course, we can not speak of what we heard in the court room, so there is no verification that questions such as ‘does anyone on the jury have problems with figures of authority?’ or ‘does anyone feel that if they find a law to be unjust, it should be broken?’ were posed or answered.

~ after this temporary unselection, the very same jury-serving, civic duty-performing members of the angry red planet were driving through culver city and were pulled over and questioned by the police. the cop’s story was that there is a brake light out on the angry red mazda, and that the mazda was speeding down culver boulevard. upon our inspection, no brake lights seemed to be *really* out, so this seems to be a falsification – an exaggeration at least – on the officer’s part; we are currently unable to contest the accusation of ‘speeding’ as our speedometer has not operated since 1997. after a promise to leave the state of california as soon as possible, we were allowed to leave.

~ fifteen minutes after the altercation with the authorities, we were rear-ended on jefferson boulevard in culver city.
