Billionaires at the Galleria

by IMC, Mike Snow Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2001 at 2:06 AM

Mall security showed up, but everything remained pretty calm. Maybe the threat of antiterrorism laws are on the activist's mind. Photo by Mike Snow.

The mall security had their own media making tools. They took photos of the activists, so we took photos of them.

Later, in discussions with activist Bill Neal, the mall management informed him that the Galleria has a "free speech" policy by which people are allowed to pass out flyers at the mall, if they preregister. The restrictions are that only three people may participate, and that there are "blackout" days where it's not allowed.

Those blackout days happen to fall on big shopping periods, like most of the entire month of Christmas. Though they appreciated the extension of free speech on the privatized public space, the activists noticed that they would be in violation of all the restrictions.

Overall, though, things were kept mellow. The Billionaires had another important appointment to keep at Highland Park's Fashion 21 demonstration.

Prison Cells

by the billionaires Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2001 at 11:57 PM

(Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

It's just a traffic stop - for D W B

Then the cop plants drugs on you and busts you , one-two-three.

Or you could get popped - and if it's your third strike,

You'll get life in prison just for jacking someone's bike! Oh...

Prison cells, prison cells - don't you break the rules.

We spend more on prison cells - You'll be doing time.

We'll lock you up for forty years and say we're tough on crime!

Here' comes the D.A. Watch him rig the game.

He'll suppress the evidence that just might clear your name.

You could still appeal, but you're bound to fail.

Your court-appointed lawyer couldn't get Jesus out of jail! Oh...

(Chorus)

You'll be building toys. You'll be booking flights.

We'll force you to work so just forget about your rights.

We don't pay you much. You can't unionize.

Prison labor really makes our profit margin rise! Oh...

(Chorus)

We don't add no frills, nor rehabilitate.

We privatize the prisons and we get rich from the state.

If our venture fails, and if our stock should tank.

We'll let the public bail us out and laugh it to the bank! Oh...

Prison cells, prison cells - don't you break the rules.

We spend more on prison cells than we spend on our schools!

Prison cells, prison cells - You'll be doing time.

We'll lock you up for forty years and say we're tough on crime!
