Protest update
Irvine -- This afternoon edition's of Subversity, a KUCI public affairs

in a baton-waving, chemical-weapon shooting onslaught on concert goers,
protesters and news media, after a Rage against the Machine Concert
outside Staples Center in L.A. We'll also feature highlights from
Sunday's Mumia rally, including an interview with lead Mumia attorney
Leonard Weinglass.

Among the speakers at the anti-death penalty march and rally Sunday were

greetings from his father. We'll also bring you music from the rally and
march, including the stirring lyrics and beat of Revolutionary Change.
