Halliburton protester not guilty

Posted: Sunday June 11th, 2006
DUNCAN − A municipal judge ruled Thursday that a protester who was arrested while protesting the H a l l i b u r t o n Shareholders' Meeting in Duncan on May 17 was not guilty of violating a city protest permit.
Judge Carl Lamar said he felt police acted responsibly and correctly in arresting Joni LeViness, 45, Tulsa, after she left a designated protest area, but that he could not find her guilty because he could not find cause to do so within the section of the municipal code she was charged under.
"I think she could have been charged with the crime of trespassing or disrupting a police officer when they told her to step back," Lamar said. "I cannot find that (LeViness) violated this ordinance."

I thought that Memorial Day in Denton [Texas] should mean something more than just a temporary forest of flags sprouting in the downtown business district, so I did something about it.

Halliburton Shareholders Meeting - PROTEST
Posted: Sunday May 14th, 2006
FROM 3 CONTINENTS TO DUNCAN, OK
by Nathaniel Batchelder, www.peacehouseok.org
From Nigeria, Peru, and at least six of the United States, objectors to Halliburton's global operations travelled to Duncan, Oklahoma, to protest at the corporation's annual stockholders' meeting, Wednesday, May 17.
Some 150-200 protesters gathered outside the Simmons Center where Halliburton's meetings were held, holding signs and chanting "Shame" while stockholders filed in, and later left the meeting. All morning, a stream of Duncan citizens drove past the protest location to see the protest to the Duncan-based corporation. Many responded to the prominent "Honk For Peace" signs.
A dozen or so Duncan citizens actually joined the protest. Three Duncan ministers came to speak their support for the protest, including 99-year-old Rev. Phil Wahl, longtime advocate of abolition of the death penalty and many other social justice and peace causes.
