Colorado: 2 arrested during protets against Cheney

Around noon two local members of the activist group A Voice of Reason — Mallory Rice, 20, and Jacob Richards, 27 — were arrested by the Grand Junction Police Department for failing to “walk along the roadway as required” during Vice President Dick Cheney’s visit to Grand Junction.

The day began for the two on G and 26 roads around 11 a.m.

“Then we moved down to G 1/2 Road and 26 Road and Cheney went by there,” Rice said. “We were just chanting, all of us were yelling, holding signs.”

The chants from the crowd as he passed included: “Hey-ho, Dick Cheney’s got to go!”; “U.S. out of the Middle East!”; “No justice, no peace!”; and “Jail Dick Cheney!”
