Elijah McClain

The cops and the district attorneys want people to see what we are going through -- the conditions of our arrests, our experiences in jail, and our legal battle -- and to think that this is what you risk when you stand up against them. - Lillian House, Aurora Activist and Defendant

Clad in full riot gear, wielding batons and pepper spray, police in Aurora, Colo, broke up last night’s vigil to the memory of 23-year-old massage therapist Elijah McClain  — a man killed by the same police force last August. The day had begun with demonstrations organized by the local chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. At 8.30 p.m. a somber violin vigil was held in the city’s Center Park, where dozens of musicians, including children from local orchestras, congregated to mourn his killing last year.
