This is the story of how we got arrested outside of the RNC. Wrong place, wrong time? Or hella hypersensitive security? Seriously, we were just riding our bikes.
Statistics:
256 arrested
119 felony charges
We ended up with 3 misdemeanors and fines.
Someone start arranging the fundraiser for us, okay? Thanks.

About this blog
I'm a guy in Atlanta with a blog, a video camera, and a library of a whole lotta randomness. I've been known to stalk a rock star or two. Or to sneak my way into Fashion Week. Or to bob for pig's feet among Rednecks. Whatever it is, I'll probably be breaking the rules and having a lot of fun doing it.

Oh my gosh. That is absolutely ridiculous! I’m glad you made it through jail though. It makes a great story for your adventures at the RNC.

That was just so wrong on so many levels (you being arrested). Even if you were there to protest…isn’t Freedom of Speech still a right we have. That you were just riding through to a concert just blows my mind. And the amount of officers was just way beyond absurd.Peace 2 U babe.

This needs national attention. I see you all on the today show.
It is outrageous, but makes for one hell of a story.
Love what you are all doing!

[...] Kyle & crew went to the RNC and got himself arrested. Check it out here. They don’t think much of the purple-haired (unless you’re an AARP member). Now Kyle, Haydee [...]

“We ended up with 3 misdemeanors and fines. Someone start arranging the fundraiser for us, okay?”
So… you just plead guilty and paid the fines? This seems like it demands a challenge in court.

So, whatever happened? Did you join in the civil suit against the city? Your rights were clearly violated.
