Protesters Disrupt Condoleezza Rice
Twelve protesters disrupted a speech by Condoleeza Rice at Norwich University in Vermont with a mic check. The audience at the event was less than supportive. One of the protesters, Marie Countryman, was slapped by an audience member and bullied by others as she spoke. Here is the text of the mic check:
I come here today because I stand for justice for all humanity.
I come here today because I cannot and will not be silent in the face of crimes against humanity.
I come here today to charge Condolezza Rice for having participated in and perpetrated crimes against humanity in the name of the citizens of the United States.
