Peace Released

Anwar Peace is out of jail.
Last Friday, Peace pled guilty to violating his no-contact order with Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske. Peace, who had been in King County Jail since July, was released for time served.
Now, Peace wants to set the record straight about why he left 17 angry, threatening messages on Kerlikowske’s phone. And, he wants to apologize.
Peace says he wants to go to City Council next month and give a public apology to the Chief and his family. “The beef that me and the Chief have had was between me and him. It wasn’t about his family,” he says. “I really crossed the line when I started commenting about them.”
On June 30th, Peace says he found out about radio talk show host Mike Webb’s death and became distraught. “[Webb] had me in the studio multiple times discussing police issues.[We] had struck up a friendship over the years. When I found out that he was murdered, in my grieving process, I drank about 4 bottles of wine that morning.”
That’s when Peace began making phone calls. Eventually, police were called to Peace’s house after a dispute with his girlfriend, and he was taken to jail.
Jail seems to have been a sobering experience for Peace and he says he plans to take a more laid back approach to activism. “I’m not going to be able to march in the streets as I used to,” he said.
Holy shit. Did our prison system actually rehabilitate someone?
@1 Why should city council time be wasted with the apology of an annoying drunk? Isn't that what AA is for?
4 bottles of wine? Ｄａｙｕｍｎ！
isn't it funny how people with restraining orders always want one last chance to explain themselves to the one who has an order against them?
Rules for Radicals: Addendum: Never consume four bottles of wine at one sitting.
More like four bottles of whiiiine.
@4, I still love you sheriff. I know I got angry before, but I promise I'll do better this time. I need you baby.
Me @2. Just reread my post. No idea why I put the @1 in there. My post was not directed at Gitai. Sorry :(
Peace out?
Interesting that in the earlier post it mentioned Peace being arrested for domestic violence, but the charges were dropped after his GF said she hit him instead.
And yet apparently she wasn't charged with DV herself even after admitting it? A little bit of a double-standard on DV that apparently doesn't bother anyone.
I could be that she was lying to protect him. Cops and prosecutors see that kind of shit frequently. It's a lot easier for them to drop the whole thing than to deal with that DV-victim mindset.
