Photo By John Hoff, September 1
The big guy behind the kite is not "Peace Kite Dude." The big guy is merely helping. PKD is the guy with a beard standing in the middle.
For video I shot of PKD and posted to YouTube, click here. The footage is actually from the September 2 Poor People's March--the point where the rally on the Capitol grounds merged with the poverty march--and PKD is in the middle of it all. There were many scenes where his kites hovered peacefully in the same skies as choppers, which stayed much higher above.
I'm amazed no police arrested PKD and beat the crap out of him for creating a "threat" to the police helicopters.

Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com
