Passaic, NJ: Queer Youth Walk Out, Direct Action Gets the Goods

from Jersey Counter-Info

Queer youth in Passaic County took to the streets this week as a direct response to the Passaic County School Board’s recent policy change which now only allows nationalist flags to be flown on school property. The change in school policy came as a shock to local queer students, as several schools in the district flew pride flags throughout last year.

Just a few months ago the state arrested a local Piney, Greg Fullman, for burning down over 600 acres of forest and starting several other incendiary fires in South Jersey, in an arson spree that spanned almost a year. By the state's own account, they massively screwed up their own "investigation" several times, in an almost comical fashion, despite having virtually indisputable evidence against Greg. There was security video footage, DNA, and easily traceable items purchased at a Wawa that he used to start the fires. On one occasion, agents of the state even caught Greg in preparation of setting a fire and did not detain or arrest him. Greg was eventually arrested after almost a year and is now facing over two dozen arson related charges.
