Halloween Party at Yancey Street Park
The Wingnut Anarchist Collective in Southern Barton Heights is planning a Southern Barton Heights Halloween Party for Saturday October 30th from 3pm-dark in Yancey Street Park (at the corner of North Ave. And Poe St.)
The event will include pinatas, bobbing for apples, pin the tale on the black cat, mask making, face painting, and other spooky surprises. It will also be a potluck event- so if folks can bring a dish or non-alcoholic beverage to share that would be great!
We are also looking for someone who would like to DJ the event, to give us some spooky tunes to make it a super festive fun time!
Please contact the Wingnuts at 804.303.5449, wingnut_collective@yahoo.com, http://www.thewingnutrva.wordpress.com or 2005 Barton Avenue if you are interested in helping out with the event.
For the life of me I don’t know why the NorthRichmondNews is promoting anything this group does. They tried to cause a disruption during the ACORN neighborhood tour. They have instituted programs like “copwatch” were they film and record and directly interfere wit police investigations. They also scan police channels, letting the local drug dealers know when police are en-route when residents make calls to the police.
They talk about how they feel oppression but at the same time this group is bully and doing they own type of oppression.
I hope the people that run this site take a harder look at this cult/Wingnut group.
After reading their website, I just realized that the wingnuts probably dumpster dive for all the food they make for the Monroe Park Food-not-Bombs events. It’s one thing to eat dumpster food yourself. It’s another thing to serve it to other people who may not know that it was formerly garbage. /non-sequitur
Nobody is tipping off “drug dealers” in the neighborhood. Or at least we aren’t. We have a police scanner because a kid in the neighborhood was a victim of police brutality, getting beaten and maced in the face even while he wasn’t resisting. We didn’t hear about it until it was too late; if we HAD been there with cameras it either A) wouldn’t have happened or B) would have been documented. So, we dipped into our personal funds to scrounge together the cash for a police scanner to be able to get to the scene on time.
Food Not Bombs gets its food from donations by local businesses, specifically, Kroger, Whole Foods, Ellwood Thompson, Farm To Family, Rudi’s Organic Mushrooms, the Twin Oaks community, and other local farmers and businesses as they have food to spare.
Way to research your blind allegations, assholes.
